southhamster Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Yes! Upgraded my main school to cc4.5 last half term, 3 other smaller schools being done staggered in half term and easter. Farewell 2003 I reckon you were pretty good, especially with SR2
fiza Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Yes. Have one DC on 2003 and one on 2008. Just buying a replacement server today. Will be decommissioning the 2003 server at half term.
win Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Nope, but i did like my old 2003r2 + xp network. Found it to be quite stable and fairly easy to manage.
Arthur Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Anyone still using Server 2003? Most of Europe, the Middle East and Africa apparently. 68% of EMEA firms won't let go of ageing Windows Server 2003
john Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Yes we have some chunks of 2003, global project to be rid but people just won't let it die! GRRR I have a weekly meeting about it and progress / lack of progress made.
localzuk Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Not since August 2013 here. Moved to 2008 R2 and 2012. So much better.
Firefox Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 2 left out of 1000 or so. With any luck these will be gone by the end of feb :-)
sonofsanta Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Sadly, yes - a single web server required for running some old MFL software internally because the provider can't be bothered to recompile for .NET 4 (come on, please, a single command with a different flag, pleeeeeease), and we just could not get it running on 2008R2 with its newer framework. Wasn't happy about it then, even less happy about it now
localzuk Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Well, that'll either be Metro Electro or Expo Electro I'd guess. I managed to abandon it a few years ago.
Chuckster Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I've got 5 servers running 2003: Terminal Server Print Server & Anti-Virus 2 x File Server SharePoint 2003 server I've almost completed the transition of our SharePoint to 2013. Print Server is almost complete. I now need to install our AV onto it. The Terminal Server will simply be decommissioned. Our 2 x file server is going to be tricky. Managlement are reluctant to spend money on a new server.
sonofsanta Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Well, that'll either be Metro Electro or Expo Electro I'd guess. I managed to abandon it a few years ago. I can neither confirm nor deny that statement.
SHimmer45 Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I can neither confirm nor deny that statement. both are horrid and aged our MFL dept have pretty much ditched it after we moved our intranet to a 2008 box initially and now 2012r2.
howartp Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Well, that'll either be Metro Electro or Expo Electro I'd guess. I managed to abandon it a few years ago. I'm positive we re-installed this on 2008 R2 this summer... It's definitely there, just need to check what it's doing. Peter
sonofsanta Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I'm positive we re-installed this on 2008 R2 this summer... It's definitely there, just need to check what it's doing. Peter Any hints as to how you managed it would be gratefully* received. *and hypothetically, of course. The product in question remains neither confirmed nor denied.
Davit2005 Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Unfortunately yes, just a few but the services these provide are soon to be retired thankfully.
gmonks Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Running 2003 on a server here running DC and File Services. Being retired in 2 weeks.
howartp Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Any hints as to how you managed it would be gratefully* received. *and hypothetically, of course. The product in question remains neither confirmed nor denied. PM sent in the first instance. 1
howartp Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Any hints as to how you managed it would be gratefully* received. *and hypothetically, of course. The product in question remains neither confirmed nor denied. Unfortunately it appears I didn't succeed with this, though I had no recollection that I hadn't succeeded. I did copy the content and recreate the IIS entries, but they aren't working. The shortcuts in use around school are still pointing to the old 2003 server, which is only online for Creo Elements (hostname-based license) - it is pure fluke that the same server hosts Metro/Logo, hence why nobody from MFL has come crying to me yet. However Andy somebody on here claims to have hacked it successfully, so I've PM'd him. Peter 1
howartp Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Right, anyone fancy running Logo and/or Expo Electro on Server 2008 R2 successfully? I seem to have just succeeded, but I'd like someone else to try it out before I claim I definitely have! Peter Edited May 27, 2015 by howartp
