Someone still have the very first iSCSI initiator installation file ? Please I need it !

I have some skills building Microsoft Failover Clusters.

Using Microsoft iSCSI Initiator software I'm able to build all possible clusters scenarios since Windows 2000 Server. For Windows 2000 Server, I used the iSCSI initiator version 2.08. And it worked very well ! Even using Windows Storage Server 2016 as the SAN Storage ! As you can see on picture below.

Back then, nobody knew it was possible to build a Windows 2000 Server Failover Cluster solution using iSCSI initiator software (only using HBA hardware adapters ). But I did it !

I heard that could be possible to build same solution for Windows NT 4.0 Server. I was wondering if this is true. What you think ? I would like to test it and check my results but I need the very first iSCSI initiator version.

I need one of these iSCSi initiator Version: 1.0 1.01 1.02 1.03 1.04 1.04a 1.05 1.05a 1.06 Until now, no success to find any file ( 1.0x ). If someone still have it, please share with on a link, GoogleDrive or OneDrive, or any download link for the installation files.

Thank you so much! _w2000_cluster

    Hi Israel Gino,

    I don't think Microsoft provide download links for those versions of the iSCSI initiator any more. You can try searching for them on archive.org.
