With the obvious security risks and a real need of a upgrade (or, in a more realistic way, a refresh and migration) plan. Microsoft has estimated that there may be between as many as 20 million copies of Windows Server 2003 are still running (and still there are some Windows XP!). So it’s already done the migration? Not really! Microsoft’s exact cut-off date for supporting Windows Server 2003 is July 14, 2015, which will focus administrators minds on updating any remaining machines running the operating system for servers or to move a workload to the cloud.Īlso next year will be the year of Windows Server 2016 (with a lot of new features) making the gap of releases really huge (5 different releases after Windows Server 2003 R2!).īut actually the change has already been driven by the application layer: most of applications require a 64 bit OS and serveral of them have removed the Windows Server 2003 support.
So one year after the Microsoft Windows XP (and Office 2003) retirement, now it’s the turn of the Windows Server 2003 (and of course the R2 version) operating system family, after 12 years!
On JExtended Support for Windows Server 2003 family will end.
In addition, it adds new features and updates to existing Windows Server 2003 features and utilities. Windows Server 2003 is built for small organizations and department, which includes features such as intelligent file and printer sharing, secure Internet connectivity, centralized desktop policy management. It was announced after the release of Windows XP about eight months later. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) is a cumulative service pack that includes the latest updates and provides enhancements to security and stability. Windows Server 2003, a server operating system, was released on Apby Microsoft.
