Microsoft Xp, Server 2003 And Potential Plant Security Risk
February 5th, 2014
6 Things You Need To Know About Microsoft Xp And Server 2003 That Could Jeopardize Your Plant Security:
If you have existing installations of WinCC in your organization, please consider the following items:
1. Using Windows XP after April 8, 2014 may jeopardize your plant security. This is because Microsoft® is ceasing its support, resulting in the elimination of important Windows security updates.
2. Using Windows Server 2003 after July 14, 2015 may jeopardize your plant security. This is because Microsoft® is ceasing its support, resulting in the elimination of important Windows security updates.
3. Migrating to Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 reduces your risk, allowing you to continue receiving important Windows security updates.
4. WinCC V3, V4, V5 or V6.0 do not run on Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008. These products will need to be upgraded to WinCC V7.2.
5. WinCC V7.2 with Windows 7 or...
