Any alternative to add windows 2003 as domain member server for a 2016 Domain Controllers in an azure environment ? since 2003 requires smb 1.0 and that feature is disable for all windows server images from market places, could someone tell any work around for this ? thanks
- Hi. There's no way to run a 32-bit guest OS in Azure, including Windows Server 2003. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/azure/virtual-machines/run-win-server-2003. You'll need at least Windows Server 2008 R2
- I am sorry I didnt describe all the scenario, domain controllers with windows server 2016 are running in azure, but there are some others workloads running in skytap for azure, which has 2003 , this 2003 servers run in this platform as a Disaster Recovery Site for some legacy application

1. Why would you want to? We'd be curious why you'd want to deploy 2003 in 2023. 2. Server 2003 is not supported anywhere, including Azure.- If you had an application written many years ago that only ran on that Legacy OS, and it would cost your organization a vast amount to replace it, then you might just want to keep that XP based OS running... But definitely in a walled garden, not exposed to the Internet. We have several clients in the manufacturing and precision measurement business still running VFP 7 apps.
