We still have a literal handful but all of those are on death row and will be uplifted by the end of this year. We still had a single, solitary, one-off Windows 2000 box running as late as 2017 but it's gone now. We still have a decent number of 2012 R2 boxes (base 2012 is banned) that are allowed to stay _for now_, but the acceptable minimum at our place is 2016. That makes up the bulk of our estate and we have about a 70-30 split between 2019 and 2022 as well.

Why would anyone use this over linux? You have to buy a license per every connection? WTF?

[@DozIT]

Depends on the server edition, each user OR device using the server needs to be licensed (web hosting does not require additional licensing). Unfortunately Windows Server is the only (viable, scalable, and reliable) way to manage dozens, or hundreds of windows boxes on a network (Active Directory, WSUS, BranchCache, and of course Group Policy)

[@jimnor8817]

Linux can't effectively manage Windows endpoints without a ton of headaches / compromises. *nix OSes have several applications that they're great at but this isn't one of them.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

@@jimnor8817 Yep, we have loads of Linux stuff in our estate that Windows clients can auth against, but it's not AD. We have AD groups to manage application/system access and that access will allow your AD account to authenticate against those, but our actual directory management is AD. Vintela is used as a shim for the Unix estate.

Mine has been connected to the internet for years, still is as of July 2024. I have no intention of changing it.

[@TheDa6781]

What do you use it for?

[@BurrPulch]

I use it mainly as a file server, central repository for my main data collection which consists of programs I've created, shareware etc I've downloaded, music, and videos. I don't get on the internet with it because no browser will install on it any more. I use a different Win10 computer for accessing the internet. I got the server free over 10 years ago before we had 8 TB drives. Today it probably wouldn't make sense to set it up as I have but it's still working so why change it, although other newly available options would certainly use less power.
