Does anyone know if bitzeny/cpuminer is supported on Windows Server 2003 R2? I've recently tried to start it but got a message that normaliz.dll is not found. Tried to download it but there was no change in the miner's behavior.

Is there minimal requirements to the release of the OS?

P.s. I have a server with 4 x AMD Opteron 880 and win server 2003 r2 installed. Also it's possible to install Red Hat Enterprise 5.

Go for the linux. always choose linux... unless realy need MS or Apple BS...

you forgot to mention if 2k3 R2 (btw amazing os) is 64bit or 32bit (on this one you can not mine with precompiled minerd on older AMDs - cuz no sse4 on them...).
I do not now if you can compile it from source on or for 32bit Win OS win no SSE4, but if you can than you could run it.

Also I want know how minerd works on multi cpu systems with old OS (if manual CPU affinity assignment is required or not). -> just curiosity

lapool is so sloooow and you are mining at 1% pool fee. try soup.misosi.ru, this pool does not apply fees and much more stable

lapool was more stable, steady and accurate in terms of hash detection and given works. dashboard info too.
in lapool I had 99% efficiency and 1% fee (in all 5 mined coins from beginning).
in misosi I have now mined only ~2 coins, with 80% eff. and no fee. (~1 coin with 4threads, another one with 3 threads, cuz 4threads seems unstable)
also mining itself on misosi:16002 looks weird. on 16001 does not even mine , cuz my cpus (all have 4 threads each) are not strong. mining on all 4 threads is unstable. on 3 threads is more stable and reports same hashrate like on 4threads in both misosi and lapool.
which one is better (if both are runing xD)?
so if I will notice any significant and worth to mention changes. You will be posted.

I use Win Server 2003 R2 x64 and tried the precompiled version of cpuminer x64 without sse4 support from bitzeny.org

I'm a little afraid of compiling cpuminer on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 because it's the only linux officially supported by my HP DL 585 G1 and I didn't see any instructions how to compile cpuminer on Red Hat Linux. All instructions which I've seen were about compiling on Ubuntu Server, but it's impossible to install this OS on HP DL 585 G1 server.

I've resolved the problem. Just updated from IE6 to IE8 on win server 2003 r2 x64 and normaliz.dll was created in windows/system32/. After that cpuminer x64 no-sse works fine on 4 x amd opteron 880 with 1.56kH/s.
