- - Windows Server 2003 Build 3790 released as RTM (http:\\b1.hcanet.com\forum/showthread.php?t=7200)

Confirmed by Paul Thurrott and by Neowin. Windows Server 2003's final build number is 3790. If you are a Windows tester for Windows Server 2003 the evaluation version is sitting for you as we speak at Windows Beta Web. Below is a screenshot of Windows Beta Web with the current download available. Minor problems with key allotments and slow download speeds but its there.

We'll let you know about anymore developments and more screenshots as we get them.

Updated: This just in, no complimentary copy for beta testers - Please note CD media will not be made available. As in past server betas, only evaluation versions of Server 2003 will be made available to members of the technical beta. Final packaged product will be available on store shelves on or about 4/24/03

Thanks ecperez. Important to know the build number to ensure I got the final build.

Quote:

Build 2542 was the last build that testers would receive. On Monday, August 20, build 2454 was forked to build 2600, and the company began hammering away at this final build for RTM, alerting the press about its progress and explaining the remainder of the schedule. And on Friday, August 24, 2001, build 2600 was declared as RTM as promised, and handed off to PC makers at a media event held on the Microsoft campus.

Hope nothing weird happens like that to Windows Server 2003.
