What operating system does ArcGIS Server support for deploying ArcGIS Mobile?
There are two parts to consider for operating support. First, the ArcGIS Server mobile data access Web service works on Windows and Linux servers. It can be installed for .NET on Windows and Java on Linux. Second, for the ArcGIS Mobile application, ArcGIS Server Manager is a critical element. ArcGIS Server Manager supports only Windows servers as it requires .NET components to run.
