For those of you still running Windows NT Server in the back somewhere Dec. 31, 2004 is the last time you'll be able to get any hotfixes from Windows Update. Microsoft was going to end online support sooner, but they extended it until now. After Jan. 1, 2005, you'll only get patches if you have a custom support contract.

You can still download the SP. They just won't make any new ones.

They haven't made a new one since 1999!

Q

Weren't they supposed to make a SP7 for NT4?

Apparently, the ISS was running NT4 and installed SP7.

Q

So why did they get it and we don't?

Dunno. Maybe because they were a custom deployment.

There IS SP7, but MS call it SP6a+SRP.
