2008 Server goes EOL on 14th January 2020 which co-incides with patch Tuesday. Anyone know if that will be the last patch release or if it was in the December release yesterday? Having trouble finding a definitive answer.

It's years out of date..... move ASAP or take the risk.

Yes, I am aware of the risks but in a large organisation things don't always move as quick as we'd like hence we will stil have some for a few months. Hence the question, when will the last patches be issued.

Yes, 14th Jan is the last issue of patches. If you have an enterprise agreement you can extend support for up to three years along with W7.

I had to rebuild a Windows 2000 domain controller a few weeks ago, 2008 is positively cutting-edge :p
