Exactly
It'll give me some time to figure out all of the tech... Just took delivery on a 2019 Mazda 3 Sport GS 6MT yesterday -
Morning everyone. Time to get breakfast and head to the coffee shop

SSL uses port 443. . .
the VAR information I received have 2 SSL URL's and ports. the first one is on port 443, the second is on 5003 ....
From the processor, So I'm just trying to make sure there's nothing blocking it.So you need to tell the firewall folks, the IP of the processor box, and those two ports need to be open outbound.
That should be all.
That's what I thought - but they're asking for a domain, which I don't understand.
OHHHH - damn.. they are really locking shit down.
They want the domain name the processor box is going to connect to so they only allow connection out to THAT server. At least that's my assumption.

Oh fair enough..
Well if it comes back that they need more information I'll look into it. -

Doing a little victory dance after successfully: Upgrading a Server2008R2 VM to 2012R2, then its SQL Express 2008R2 installation upgraded to 2012R2, and setting up RDS for making the OLD LOB app available via RDP. Because archival financial info.
What a PITA, so many very Microsoft-ian errors along the way to overcome.
For anyone that cares, yes an upgrade. The 2008R2 VM itself was created by me (fresh and shiny new & clean, a handful of years ago), in which I had to do a clean install of said OS and SQL Server Express, and restore data which had been backed up, but the server of origin had died, hard, not long after I recommended replacing it in fact (won't miss that single box running SBS 2011, ever).Client-side app won't run in Windows 10 (total non-starter), did in Win 8 and earlier.
So this is a nice way to still provide access to said valued data for the remaining years the client will need or care about it. -

Didn't mainstream support end for 2012 r2 like a year ago?

Yeah main stream was 2018. Expended 2023

Exactly.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4015079/lifecycle-dates-extended-for-windows-server-2012
So, security updates til 10/2023.
Plenty of time, given that the timeframe access to this data will be needed is another three years.
Other considerations:
- An available lic for 2012R2 already existed.
- Given the age of the old financial software product, I didn’t know if/that it would even work. Thankfully it does, just fine. Really seriously doubt it could/will run, at all, on anything newer. Have already established that the client component does not run in W10.
-
Yeah we will be going through this in the new year once we get some new kit. Will need to look at licensing and move some VM from 2008 depending on licensing costs and what we got.
Think we will do steps get them on 2012 then test upgrades to 2016/2019

Is this a LANless environment?
