Has anyone still got an NT Server lurking in their shop?

My previous job had about 20-30 of them. Most on VMs but a few live and well.

In my current job we have two clients that still have them. One company uses it for terminal services something about licensing. And another is a mixed mode envionment that is being slowly migrated to a vista/2008 envionment.

Yup, still a handful globally.

Are you reminiscing about days gone by?

What is NT Server 4.0?

ITdude

It is a Server and Workstation OS from the days when men were men and women were women, or something like that!

If you are being serious, it is the OS that preceeded Windows 2000 and Active Directory etc. This is a VERY limited definition, obviously!

You know Royal was joking, right?

I have had therapy to block out the traumatic memories of NT4.

Our last NT4 system was actually a Nortel PABX which has since been software upgraded to a Linux based system.

No NT4 on my network.

However, we do have a single Windows 95 client.

All 80 other clients are Windows XP.

All Servers are Windows 2003 or 2003 R2

I feel very lucky!

If we're playing who's got the oldest machines still running...

I have a handful of VAXstation 4000/90's still running in production.

We tossed our last NT server last year. Working on getting our last 2000 out the door in the next few months.

Last job back in 2006 had about 1/2 of 75 or so servers still on NT, a plant that was JUST converting from Windows 95, and one critical app for our transportation center that was running on a early 90's PC on running DOS

We still have one NT server, which refuses to let itself be virtualized, so it will hang around until the 10+ year old box finally kicks the can and the few people that actually use it are forced to move on.

About 30-50 NT servers still left, should all be gone next year.

Yup! It was a BCM400. Crap system. We've had lots of issues with it. Its been better since it was upgraded to Linux but still not great.

Big deal. At my previous employer there were two original Apple IIs still running in production every day.

Okay, I have to ask why... What the hell only runs on an Apple II that is worth keeping?

The Apples were hooked up to some sort of test equipment and ran custom programs in BASIC. Both were still working perfectly collecting data from them. The plastic cases were looking really funky, although.

Best part is, the company does lots of business with the government and military and the Apples were being used to support their contracts.
