As of January 14, 2020 Microsoft stopped support of Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2. Computers running Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2 will no longer receive security patches. It is highly advised that all systems running Windows Server 2008 be upgraded immediately.
As of September 15, 2020 all Windows 2008 servers will be blocked unless registered for an exception. For further information see Windows 7 and Server 2008 Disallowed. To avoid cyber blocking request an exception here.
For help procuring Windows Server 2019 licenses, contact licenses@lbl.gov.
Additionally, if you are using older hardware and need to retire it, you may want to consider migrating the system to IT’s Science Virtual Machine (SVM) hosting service.
If you need help upgrading your server OS, or are interested in SVM, REQUEST HELP.
