Dear Sirs,

I fully understand the pitfalls and great risks of continuing to use Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition SP2, emphasizing that we use it only for very marginal functionality and access to it is blocked through an IP filter. I do not know how long we will use this product, however, I would still like to secure it as much as possible. I have installed all the patches released since the end of support in 2015.

I am sorry that Microsoft's automatic updates to the latest released patch (KB4500331 of 09/05/2019) do not work, but thank Microsoft that this page still exists Microsoft Update Catalog Windows + Server + 2003 + x64, where you can manually download 758 patches and add-ons for Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition SP2, the latest patch as of 09/05/2019 (and the latest add-on to 31.03.2020), but it is a shame that The website does not contain the latest functional version of the definitions for the Windows Defender below.

It is installed on the server
Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1593.0
Engine Version: 1.1.14405.1
Definition Version: 1.259.1605.0 (14/01/2018)

if I know no newer version of Windows Defender than 1.1.1593.0 is not available for Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition SP2, but I would like to install the latest available definitions, but nowhere are available and I do not know what date would be (I guess some date in 2019?). In any case, the automatic definition updates do not work with Windows defender.

At the same time, I cannot manually install the current Windows defender definitions published here Latest security intelligence updates for Windows Defender Antivirus and other Microsoft antimalware - Microsoft Security Intelligence x64 edition SP 2), this is probably an issue with the "2019 SHA-2 Code Signing Support Requirement for Windows and WSUS", which is probably unsolvable on Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 edition SP 2.

If it is not possible to install the current definitions (eg as of April 3, 2020) for Windows Defender Version: 1.1.1593.0 on the Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition SP2 operating system, please at least refer to the latest functional set of definitions.

If there is any good retro fan page for Windows Server 2003 Standard x64 Edition SP2 I would like to look at it.


thank you very much
