Regarding DP WLK test

NTDEV
1

Hi,
I tried to run WLK logo submission using WLK 1.5 for my USB printer driver and ran into following issues in server 2008 (not R2):
According to the WLK device console, DP Hot Add / Replace tests have to be run to get WLK logo submission. But according to the documentation, server 2008 R2 data center edition is needed for this.
Following are my questions:

  1. If we run the WLK testing using server 2008 standard or enterprise editions in x64, do we need DP hot add/ replace tests for signature? Since documentation says R2 version is needed for these tests, it is confusing to see them in device console for non R2 editions.
  2. Is it necessary that 2008 R2 datacenter edition has to be used to obtain digital signature?
  3. If DP tests have to be successful, is it necessary that the tests I run are in a DP hardware or simulation will be supported by WLK to run in normal machine? If I can run in normal machine, what is the needed machine configuration? Is it quad core or dual core with hyper threading …?
    I know this may not be the relevant news group for this but if somebody had same problem in the past, they can throw light on this.

I just can answer part of your questions.

  1. Yes, you need to run DP hot add/replace tests for signature for R2 and non R2 editions because these test cases will be added automatically when you create submission.
  2. Not sure, but it’s necessary to use WHQL test to verify your driver stability in R2 datacenter edition.
  3. In a normal machine should be fine and that what I’ve done. Your target machine should have at least 2 CPUs (core) and more than 4GB memory. If so, you can find those test cases are listed in your submission.

Thanks
Wayne
