Unfortunately we have some programs that require Windows Server 2003. While I hate having old deprecated servers n my environment, sometimes thats the way it has to be.
This particular server is only used for one program and I don't usually have a need to log in or "fiddle" with it. A month ago I have to refresh the server and reinstall the program.
During the install I noticed that I wasn't able to go to any SSL sites. After some research this is because Windows 2003 has no support for SHA2 certs. I eventually found a hotfix.
The hotfix is 315139_ENU_i386_zip.exe.
Unfortunately I can't find the KB article that let's you download this file. I found it from a forum post and I cant find that post anywhere.
The closest site i can find is this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/968730.
Unfortunately it only gives the 64 bit version of the fix. The one i went to gave me a choice. Since i have Windows 2003 32 bit I was able to select i386 version.
If i find it i will update this post.
it's this one
