Fix

Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) does not currently support running on any of the Windows 64-bit software platform sets at this time (R2/Vista).  DRA is also not currently supported running on any of the Windows Vista 32-bit software platforms.  DRA 8.0 can successfully land the DRA Agent on 64-bit domain controllers with the application of DRA Hotfix 54920.  DRA is, however, supported running on Windows 2003 R2 32-bit software platforms, excluding the new object classes and schema extensions introduced with R2.

Full support for Windows Vista platforms and Windows 2003 R2 64-bit software platforms is currently under testing and is targeted to be included in the next release of Directory and Resource Administrator.

DRA is also not currently supported running on 64-bit hardware platforms, including running 64-bit hardware in 32-bit emulation mode.
