NOTES:
DLP Endpoint supports Microsoft operating systems and its Service Packs only while Microsoft officially supports them. No support is provided for operating systems beyond its Extended End Date and when it reaches Extended Security Update (ESU). Microsoft ended mainstream support for Windows Server 2008/2008 R2 on January 13, 2015, and will end extended support on January 14, 2020. For details, go to the Windows Server Documentation page. For best results and optimal security, upgrade to a newer supported operating system.
Microsoft ended extended support for Windows Server 2003 SP2 on July 14, 2015. As of the end of 2015, the only McAfee Enterprise product supported with Windows Server 2003 SP2 is Application and Change Control.
When foundation software such as McAfee Agent and ePolicy Orchestrator ends support for the operating system or Service Pack, DLP Endpoint also ends support for it.
File System Discovery Rules (FSDR) and Network Communication Protection Rules (NCPR) aren’tsupported on servers.
Windows 10 Professional and Enterprise editions are supported.
Windows 10 CB (Current Branch) and CBB (Current Branch for Business) are supported.
Windows 10 LTSB (Long-Term Servicing Branch) 2015 has been officially tested with DLP 10 Update 2. Windows 10 LTSB is supported with DLP 10 Update 2 and later.

NOTE: McAfee Enterprise tests DLP Endpoint software on VMware virtualization platforms. Most of the features work on all VMware virtualization platforms when the guest operating system is of a supported platform, and has been provisioned with recommended system requirements as defined in the installation guide. But, some hardware-interaction based features might not work as expected due to the nature of hardware implementation on virtual platforms. If an issue arises, McAfee Enterprise provides support to these issues on a case-by-case basis.
