    If it's Win2k Server RC1 Beta that you wish, go to
    alt.binaries.warez.linux and search for Win2k Server.
    It was posted there about 2 weeks ago.
    Be warned, it is a Beta and was never officially released, so there is
    *NO* support for it *AT ALL*. No bug patches, no service packs, nada.
    If you want to play it seems to work just fine, I'd strongly advise
    against putting it live on the net. It's a wide open door for hackers.

    Good luck!
