From: Parvardigar on 11 Oct 2009 10:15 Hello I work for a small retail company. This company in 1999 bought Navision 2.01B. After the economic crash in 2000 the company became budget minded to survive. I am not the tech person. We have none. I am reading notes from that time, early 2000s. We were unable to upgrade, to invest in support, to buy 'enchancements'. In short we were stuck, and are stuck. We were able to work without any problems using Navision 2.01B in a Windows Server 2000 environment. Now we are obligated to upgrade Server 2000 by January 2010 as Microsoft will no longer support this OS. We simply cannot afford to upgrade Navision and all that that would entail. As everyone knows it is very hard times in California for small businesses. We want to keep thriving, and running. There are workers here who need their jobs. I say this because after payroll there is hardly any money left. We can make it, but, this forced upgrade would be catastrophic -unless there were options, alternatives. What would we have to do? What OS should we choose? Server 2003 Server 2008? There must be a method that would allow us to install Navision 2.01B on the appropriate Server. How would we do that? I'm looking at my former workers notes. She wrote out that Navision 2x can run on 2003 Server but we would have to 'upgrade the excutables'? I apologize for being so completely inexperience, and clueless. I need to collect useful information with possible upgrade scenarios. Surely in this economically compromized world there are companies running ancient versions of Navision of new Microsoft OS platforms. If we can somehow get our Navision 2x setup, working healthy, in an affordable fashion, on a current Microsoft OS -we can keep this business running. Thanks for any support, insight. John Marshall

If the company postpones 'upgrading' we will be without patches and updates. Running Server 2000 without protection would leave the company exploitable.

Are you using the Windows 2000 server as a WebServer or Terminal Server or VPN server? Otherwise I don't see how your server is "exploitable". I agree that your client pc's should be protected and always fully updated if they are used for web browsing or e-mail. You should be able to use Windows XP or XP-mode in Windows 7, so I don't quite see the problem there either. /Peter |
