Hello I'm looking for a somewhat updated Windows Server 2012 non-R2 version (NT 6.2) As long as it has updates integrated up to around 2016 I'm ok with that. Anybody know where I could find that ? Please no comment to tell me to get NT6.3 instead, I already have updated R2 versions.
Do you mean an updated ISO? There isn't one, not a official one, I mean If you mean how to update the OS, just install, do all the normal updates, install the ESU enabler by Abbodi and update again with the latest ESU updates. (then eventually sysprep / genrealize / capture / create an updated ISO)
Not an official one from MS. One where most updates are already integrated. Can't find anything like that for WS2012. Not sure if I can ask for something like this... I only want to test compatibility with drivers for older hardware (+ maybe some other tests) so spending hours updating/integrating everything myself is not worth the hassle just for that.
Just do in a hyper-V VM (so no downtime and no much wasted time), then boot the vhdx natively to test driver's compatibility on physical HW. Whatever the only big problem of Win8/2012 is the lack of NVME drivers (both official and patched ones, albeit we have reports of success using the patched ones for XP), then hardly you can get working a recent VGA (but that's a problem that affects also the older W10 releases)
I see. You want NT 6.2.9200. I can guarantee you can't find updated 6.2.9200 officially. I used rg-adguard as a source. But you can find some updates by googling this term: Code: Windows Server 2012 update -"R2" I added -"R2" part especially, this will filter results; and will not give results for NT 6.3.9600.
Like I said Acer-5100 mention to use ESU Enable tools as Acer-5100 just posted while bit ago.. AS far I have Windows 2012-R2 and it works on ESU tools, but now I just upgraded to Windows 2022 standard server.. DUE the Windows 2012-r2 is EOL (End Of Life) now.. ATGPUD2003
you need esu enable + https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/bypass-esu-blue.86548/page-14#post-1828923 to have esu with windows update on server 2012/ or 2012R2 ( only windows 8.0 -8.1 need proxy bypass )
