D Dan Aug 10, 2003 #1 Does anyone know when the mainstream support ended or will end for windows 2000 Server. Thanks
T Tom Acker[MSFT] Aug 10, 2003 #2 Support boundaries are here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=sz;[ln];top In general support ends after two revisions of the product have been released. This "n-2" policy is subject to review - and has always been to extend, rather than shorten the policy. By this definition, Windows NT server support would be ending soon - but has been extended to the end of 2004.
