What has stopped getting security fixes?

Paste the list of machines you already have, from Active Directory, an Excel sheet or a console export. Each one is checked against the vendor’s end-of-support date, here in your browser, in a few seconds.

  • Your list never leaves this browser
  • Nothing uploaded or stored

HOW TO GET THE LIST

Your machines, listed

Any of these works, and so does a list typed by hand. Names are optional.

  1. Open PowerShellOn a domain controller, or any machine with the Active Directory module.
  2. Run one lineGet-ADComputer -Filter * -Properties OperatingSystem, OperatingSystemVersion | Select Name, OperatingSystem, OperatingSystemVersion
  3. Paste the outputStraight from the window, or add | Export-Csv machines.csv and choose the file.
  1. Open the device listIntune: Devices › All devices. SCCM: a device collection, or the hardware inventory report.
  2. Keep the OS columnsOperating system and OS version are what the check needs; the build number decides the Windows version.
  3. Export to CSVChoose the file above, or open it in Excel, copy the cells and paste them.
  1. On each servergrep PRETTY_NAME /etc/os-release prints one line, such as Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.
  2. Or across manyYour configuration tool’s inventory (Ansible facts, a monitoring system) can export the OS and version.
  3. Add VMwareThe ESXi and vCenter versions are on each host’s summary page: “VMware ESXi 7.0.3” is enough.
  1. Open the CLIFrom the FortiGate’s dashboard, or over SSH from inside the network.
  2. Run one commandget system status. The first line, “Version: FortiGate-60F v7.2.8”, is the one to paste.
  3. Or from the dashboardThe model and firmware version are on the System Information widget.

Prefer to leave the names out? A list of products with a count each works just as well: “14 x Windows 10 Pro”.

QUESTIONS

Asked often

The questions people search for before they run the check.

When does Windows Server 2012 R2 stop getting updates?

Its extended support ended on 10 October 2023. Paid Extended Security Updates run to 13 October 2026, and there is no further year: after that date no security fix is published for it, at any price.

Is Windows 10 still supported?

Not for free. Windows 10 22H2 had its last free update on 14 October 2025. Businesses can buy Extended Security Updates for up to three years, to October 2028, at a price that rises each year. The LTSC editions have their own, later dates.

When does Windows Server 2016 reach end of support?

On 12 January 2027. Its mainstream support ended in January 2022, and security fixes continue until the January 2027 date, after which only paid Extended Security Updates remain.

What does end of support actually mean?

The vendor stops publishing security fixes. The software keeps running, which is why it gets forgotten, but every flaw found afterwards stays open for good, and attackers look for exactly those machines.

How do I find which machines run an old version?

In Active Directory, Get-ADComputer with the OperatingSystem and OperatingSystemVersion properties lists every machine that has joined the domain. On a single Windows machine, systeminfo shows it; on Linux, /etc/os-release. Intune and SCCM export the same columns.

Where do the dates come from?

From the vendors' own lifecycle pages, as collected by endoflife.date, an open project that links every date to its source. The report prints the date we last refreshed them, and warns when that is more than 90 days ago.

Is it safe to paste my asset list here?

The list is read in your browser and is never uploaded or stored. If you ask for the report, we keep your details and a one-line summary: how many items are out of support, by product. Never the names of your machines.

Rather we planned the move with you?

What to retire, what to upgrade, what to rebuild and what to move to the cloud, server by server, on a fixed scope agreed before anything starts.
