Alright, I've got kiwi installed on 2k8 now as well, and the only issue I had was getting the console to start the service. For some reason, it can stop the service, but it doesn't even error out when attempting to restart and there are no errors or eventlogs regarding this issue.
I can start the service manually though, but it does not start on start-up even though it's set to automatic. Anyway that's all the time I have to mess with it this week, so I will try to goof around with the 5510 on Monday to see if I have any luck.
