Hi @Collins, Donald ,

1. Can we upgrade it to 4.6 version of .NET Framework?

Unfortunately .NET Framework 4.6 is not supported on Windows Server 2003 R2 (check the "Supported Operating Systems over HERE for more info).

2) Can we upgrade it to 5.1 version of Windows Management Framework?

Unfortunately the Windows Management Framework (WMF) 5.1 is also not supported on Windows Server 2003 R2 (check HERE for more info).

This gives a good indication that you should strive to upgrade your old Windows Server 2003 R2 servers :)

Hi,
LeonLaude has done a great answer.
Windows Server 2003 R2 is too old that the content you requested has already retired.

We recommend that you upgrade to a newer version as soon as possible.
Hope above information can help you.
