WannaCry Microsoft patch for Windows 2003 R2 Standard edition 32-bit Looking for the proper patch for Windows 2003 R2 Standard edition 32-bit; I can find one that relates to Windows 2003 SP2, but not one that specially relates to 2003 R2.

My dedicated server have been hit by WannaDecryptor but i've done nothing that could have leaded to an infection of it, how is it possible ?
(and by nothing, I mean litterally nothing, It was on a standby since 3 days, I've connected via the windows remote desktop sooner today and tonight I was infected)
Which Server OS version do you use? If it's Server 2008, it's probable that you haven't used Windows Update to fix the critical exploit that was deployed back in March to fix this. I'm guilty of this also - but I can't seem to find which KB fixes this exploit.
So how do we go about decrypting our files after the virus is removed? It seems like it's the same variation of the old Ransom:Win32.Vigorf.A. All anti-viruses and threads I have seen tell you just how to remove the virus, but has anyone managed to decrypt their files? Also which KB update fixes this exploit? It seems to only affect Windows 7/2008 machines (and probably XP too).
Downloading windows 10 iso, will try to catch the virus on VM, because can't find virus example in Google)
You probably won't be able to catch the virus on anything newer than Server 2012/2016 or Windows 8/10, it only seems to be hitting older operating systems where the exploit isn't fixed due to lack of Windows Updates (correct me if I'm wrong).
I do have the virus archived though, I can share it with you if you wish, if it's not against the forum's rules.
Yes I was... Hope there will be a solution to decrypt, do you think it will be released to the public if the NHS resolve the crypted problem ?
On Friday evening, Microsoft released patches for Windows XP, Server 2003, and Windows 8, after those systems were infected with Ransomware on Friday.
WannaCrypt, a variant of WannaCry ransomware, used previously leaked NSA tools to exploit vulnerabilities in the Windows platform.
The WannaCry attacks on Friday reached 125,000 systems worldwide, impacting the National Health Service in the UK, as well as shipping giant FedEx. The ransomware infection spread quickly Friday afternoon, as the attackers leveraged code stolen from the NSA (EternalBlue / DoublePulsar) to target Server Message Block (SMB) protocol in Windows.
Microsoft patched the vulnerability in March, but only for current platforms, or for those with special support contracts. For the most part, users on Windows XP, Windows 8, and Server 2003 were not provided a fix.
However, after Friday's attack, Microsoft changed their stance on EOL (end-of-life) patching and provided fixes for everyone.
'Today many of our customers around the world and the critical systems they depend on were victims of malicious “WannaCrypt” software. Seeing businesses and individuals affected by cyberattacks, such as the ones reported today, was painful. Microsoft worked throughout the day to ensure we understood the attack and were taking all possible actions to protect our customers,' Microsoft explained.
'Given the potential impact to customers and their businesses, we made the decision to make the Security Update for platforms in custom support only, Windows XP, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2003, broadly available for download. This decision was made based on an assessment of this situation, with the principle of protecting our customer ecosystem overall, firmly in mind.'
Redmond released patches for Windows Server 2003 (SP2 x64 / x86); Windows XP (SP2 x64, SP3 x86); Windows XP Embedded (SP3, x86); as well as the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 8.
