Endpoint SWAT: Protect the Endpoint Community

I'm not getting proper  virus definations udates on the server 2000OS

Windows server 2000 is EOL and so is all support for symantec AV that is compatible with it. I'd recommend upgrading the servers to a supported OS and symantec AV version. As the last version to support windows server 2000 was SEP 11 that went end of life in January 2014.

Windows 2000 should be considered inherently insecure in today's world.  Threats have had 16+ years of evolution since it was released.  Having no direct connection to the internet closes off one route of attack, but I strongly recommend against relying upon Win2k for data of any worth, no matter what security product is installed upon it.  There are far too many unpatched vulnerabilities that are extremely well known.

With thanks and best regards,

Mick

There is no more support for Windows 2000 for SEP. You can try DCS though, as that should still work.

Dear All,

please to inform the enviroment is all about banking sector and some of the application is dependencing on windows2000 OS and for some reason we cannot upgrade the OS and also we cannot install the symantec client 12.1 on the windows 2000 server. Any one suggest and help in this sceanirio.

SEP 12.1 does not support Windows 2000. You'll need to look at another product such as Symantec DataCenter Security Advanced.

Thanks Brian for the Information!

You're welcome.
