no UNC/Network support in WDS 3.01 X64?

Hi

I've just installed the update to WDS on Windows XP X64 and to my horror/dissappointment I notice that UNC/Network support doesn't appear to be there for this version, so it appears X86 32bit only.

Is this correct and if so is X64 UNC/network support planned and when

Thanks

Janson

    You are correct, there is currently no version of the UNC add-in for the 64-bit platform and will not be supported for the WDS 3.x product version. This functionality will be supported on the 64-bit platform in future versions of WDS.

    Thanks for the prompt reply Eric. Somewhat disappointing with regards to the lack of 64-bit platform support. Although I know you can't talk specific dates but are we looking at Longhorn Server Timeframe.

    I am currently part of a project to upgrade our Terminal Server farm to Windows Server 2003 R2 X64, and was hoping to use WDS as a value added component to end users, its looks though like it will miss this, which is unfortunate as I feel WDS is a great tool!

    If there is an opportunity to evauate the next version outside of the Longhorn beta (eg for Windows Server 2003 platforms) then I would be interested in this. I am currenlty a member of the Longhorn Beta Program so I can gain access to those bits

    Thanks again
