Windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2: End of Support

Glo Networks team sharing their technical experiences and thoughts.

Today Microsoft support ends for Windows 2000 (Professional and Server) and Windows XP Service Pack 2. Why do you care? This means no more support calls, no more patches – of any kind.

If you’re still running Windows 2000 in any shape, or form, you’ve long past the time you should’ve upgraded, and you’re now in the “danger zone” (if that doesn’t make you think of Kenny Loggins I don’t know what will).

If you’ve got XP machines in your network you should already be on Service Pack 3. If you’ve got a managed update infrastructure (WSUS, for example) and not yet approved the installation then today is the time to make sure that you’ve done it. Just prepare your users for the possible interruptions. It can take a while!
