Unfortunately once these servers are in place it will take a miracle to get upgraded.

What about a serious security problem? Or several?

At work, I know that several old servers have several serious security problems, including the second firewall that should protect the network. Updates are planned for all of the servers and the firewall, but the updates won't happen until one of us finds some time to switch from developer to sysadmin or a really f*ing big security issue pops up that needs an immediate fix.
