This one is mainly for system administrators (like myself) who still have Windows Server 2008 machines gallumphing around in their datacenters. There are more of them than you might think....

Windows Server 2008 fix broke the fix broke the fix ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Gotta love The Register's article picture (presumably the "needy ex-partner that just won't let go"). Looks like she lives in the upper-right corner of the Hot-Crazy Matrix.

Or maybe it's the other way -- she's the one with the clingy ex-partner. Opinions?

Par for the course with Microcrap!

I thought MS said they will quit updating Win7.

I’m still waiting.

We've also asked if a further fix will be issued

A more interesting question is who will be stupid enough to install it. It keeps getting worse with each irritation, er, iteration. With the next one, when you install it, your firstborn will probably clutch at his throat and keel over dead.

It’s just a washed up carcass on a stinky beach. No one cares about, or uses these defunct products from that has-been company anymore.

I have a laptop on which one Windows Update broke the Updater App, and so it stopped updating 2 years ago. How do you fix the Updater App when you need the Updater App to update updates to fix the Updater App?

Of course my first question (beyond “who trusts Microsoft?”) is who would apply patches to their entire farm without patch testing first?

Turn off automatic updates and only install the bare minimum needed to properly run specific programs/games.

Still running Win 2008 server?

Irresponsible. The owners of the system, not the admin.

Company ownership must give them an ultimatum. Upgrade to current OS (platform and application/DB) in 90 days or you’re fired.

If you’re at a publicly traded company, it should be part of their quarterly and annual public disclosure.

The company’s business operations are at risk.

Perhaps it is infected with the Coronovirus, the solution is Window 12 Lite. 

I can tell its origin by the description.
