IE8 Support ends before Server 2003 R2 support, how is this possible?

i have been shown warning ie8 out of support , vulnerable, yet server 2003 r2 supposed under support until 2015.  if ie8 latest browser can installed on 2003 r2 (and require os functions eg. updating) surely invalidates security of whole os. it? server 2003 r2 secure , supported 2015 inc ie8 or isn't it? mainstream support windows server 2003 r2 ended in 2010 . in extended support until july 14, 2015, means while can still receive security updates cannot receive non-security hotfixes without hotfix agreement microsoft (see microsoft support lifecycle policy faq ). in terms of lifecycle support, understanding internet explorer falls under support product released with. ie 8 shipped windows 7 , windows server 2008 r2. both windows 7 , windows server 2008 r2 still in mainstream support me means product, microsoft still supports ie 8 on these platforms. many web sites or applications may choose not support ie8. example of office 365 phased out support ie 8 in april @ s...

Windows 2008 Server R2 - Exportar/importar servidor NPS RADIUS

buenos días, tengo un servidor radius montado en un windows 2008 server r2 que se para aleatoriamente cada cierto tiempo y la única solución es apagar y encender. intentado solucionar los problemas mirando todo tipo de logs y no hay manera, creo que el problema viene porque windows está fallando en general. por ello, me planteo formatear y hacer una instalación limpia de windows 2008 server r2 y configurar todo de nuevo. me gustaría saber si es posible importar y exportar todas las configuraciones del servidor y en que orden debería de hacerlo para que funcionase todo correctamente. es un dc aislado, solo se usa como radius y tiene su propio ad, dns, dhcp y nps. cómo podría exportar todo esto? gracias por adelantado quien me responda, un saludo.
