not like that'll matter here in a few weeks, sadly.) So far I was able to get a CD (Thanks to whomever helped me do this)Īlso I knew about the Sun lawsuits but thought that only applied to Windows 95/98 that came with Microsoft JVM (wasn't aware that Me or 2000 had it nor does it explain why TechNet can't host ISO downloads of it for migration testing. I therefore am testing VMM2008R2's P2V ability on bare metal to go through and see how realistic this idea is before I just abandon it and lay down that we must move everything and anything we screw up in the process or anything that dies is SOL. Shortly thereafter we can start migration of the software to A) Newer software or B) To another server but ultimately both would be the end goal. Secondly is to be able to back up the whole VM which I can if its on our Hyper-V hosts. My first goal is to get it on more stable, supported hardware. I want to get them onto Hyper-V asap and finally got approval to do something about it. To put this into perspective they have no hardware support, no backup software support, and no OS support. Why you may ask - well we have two Windows 2000 Servers that I'm dying to move the software off. in addition to installing a Win2000SP4 system, you'll also have seven years of patches to install (June 2003 - July 2010), and the ONLY way to get those installed onto a Windows 2000 system today (other than one-at-a-time manually) is by using a downlevel (not patched current) instance of WSUS v.226 (or WSUS v2 if you can find those bits). Or is this just about testing the P-to-V process? If so, the P-to-V process should be functionally the same on Win2000 or Win2003 testing on Win2003 may be a functional compromise if it's just about vetting the procedure.Īlso, btw.
I'm curious about the need to install a new Windows 2000 SP4 instance in order to P-to-V an existing Windows 2000 Server? Wouldn't you want to P-to-V the actual server with the operating system already sitting underneath the application.
the Windows 2000 binaries, along with several other products, were unilaterally pulled from all Microsoft properties many years ago after Microsoft lost the Java lawsuit to Sun - because those products contained the Java-products built by Microsoft and subject to that lawsuit.Īside from that.
Just an FYI on the trivia side of things.
