Windows 2000 Server is not available on TechNet. Has it only just been removed? Many many people need to work with legacy systems and bringing those systems forward involves running the legacy software (obviously) in test configurations alongside the latest versions. I specifically want to build a virtualised model system in which Win2000/ISA2000 servers can be upgraded but I am unable to do this in a convenient way if the software is not available on Technet. Can Microsoft assist by leaving legacy versions in place? Many thanks

Hi Sainath I think I have the answer in the following posting. What I am after is Windows 2000 server download from Technet. I'm sure it used to be there so I wonder why it has been removed. Although it is unsuppoorted, many customers with large networks have legacy systems that need to be brought forward. I purchased Technet in order mainly to train myself so I need all the old stuff as welll as the new. Thanks

Hello,you are correct, it is not listed in the Operating systems on TechNet Downloads. So follow David's suggestion and contact TechNEt support.Best regards Meinolf Weber Disclaimer: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Have contacted support & registered a complaint. Will post back when I have a result. Many thanks.

Windows 2000 has not been available since 2005 and I believe that there is no possibility of it being made available. Well, I had to ask!
