Does the XP machine need to be part of the domain? What about working around that issue?

We removed the domain completely.

So now you're what - trying to use a 2019 SMB file share or something?

What does file share have to do with AD? Completely disconnected concepts.

True - I was making my own leap -

So - where does this stand now then??

We removed AD. It turned out that it had been installed without evaluation and was serving no real purpose, but was posing a significant risk.

Glad you got it, but my money is on a b0rk3d windows update that broke it.

It's Windows XP... those don't get updates anymore.

the back office was Windows 7. . . . Isnt windows 7 still receiving security updates?

Yes, it's still widely deployed. But freaking ancient.

@scottalanmiller said in The British Navy Runs on Windows XP:

This "defence source" definitely goes against the claim that a new OS was just created for this: "A defence source told the newspaper that some of the on-boar hardware and software "would have been good in 2004" when the carrier was designed, "but now seems rather antiquated"."

Indeed. But with most things, its outdated as soon as you ordered the kit. Probably spinning disks, rather than SSDs - gets hit by a wave in the wrong place and the head on for a few platters move... warship dead! But hey, they are cheaper - just like a particular type of cladding.

yeah, he told me that the had people writing drivers and such. I was only half listening to his ramblings waiting to get paid for the parts I was going to throw away!

Drivers you can get, it's patches and fixes that you cannot.

Hahahah We are still using Windows XP, Virtual Mode..

Do you have any plans to migrate off of it.

Yes.. its still connected with my problem last time ( RSA token not working in some windows 7)

@Dominica I can't speak to the OP - our problem really isn't about paying, well other than with time. The app can be replaced by another solution we already have in place, but our docs have to read the patient education material in the new system and approve it for our patients before we'll give it out. They currently only approved the material in the old system. If they'd read the new stuff and sign off on it, we'd be done.

@Dashrender said:

I'm lucky I'm past all of that. I've been telling them for a year that we need to replace all of the XP machines (40+) and they have approved it... so the purchasing has been happening with some help from Danielle.

Awesome, good to know that NTG is able to help out!

@scottalanmiller Say what?

@ChristopherO I do believe drinks are in order for this man!
