For all supported versions of Microsoft Windows, Directory Server and Directory Proxy Server run only in 32-bit mode, and the filesystem type must be NTFS.
Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 32-bit is not supported on 64-bit platforms except Microsoft Windows.
If a new service pack or update for a supported platform is released, Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 supports that.

Note that installations on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server require you to reset several Java environment variables. See Sun Directory Server Enterprise Edition 7.0 Installation Guide for more details.

Directory Server Enterprise Edition delivers Java 1.6 and supports both Java 1.5 and 1.6.
