On 14th July 2015, Microsoft will end support for all versions of Windows Server 2003, meaning that Microsoft will no longer offer the following:
Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 customers who are on up-to-date maintenance can be reassured that their Windows Server 2003 machines will still be protected from the latest malware, even after July 14th. We strongly encourage customers to leverage all the protection layers within SEP including Network Threat Protection, Insight, and SONAR. In addition, we suggest taking advantage of the policy control features, such as Application Control, System Lockdown, and Host Integrity for added protection.
We recognize that organizations sometimes stick with their legacy Windows systems even after the support ends because they want to avoid the risk of downtime caused by changing an OS across the entire organization. Migrating to a new OS can also be manpower-intensive, and can lead to time and cost overruns. However, we recommend that customers migrate to a supported system as soon as possible, not only for better protection, but also to avoid possible instability issues due to compatibility issues with newer hardware and software.

This is not Symantec Endpoint Protection.
This is for System Center Endpoint Protection, which is a different product. You will want to check their forum.
Hi,
We have system endpoint protection running on our servers.
We have 75 old windows 2003 servers (both 32/64 and mixed R2), which i am in the progress of trying to migrate to newer OS.
But in the meantime, we need to have full protection on these servers.
Right now, i can see that the end point protection is NOT running on the servers, due to incompability problems.
Please see the attached screenshot.
But as you mention here, it should be working in the server 2003 version???
Please contact me asap on this issue.
Thank you
As title mentioned, Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 continues to support Windows Server 2003. Thank you.
Is symantec still supports for Windows server 2003 ?
