Download Center Add: iSCSITargetDLC.exe (earlier version of iscsiTargetqfe6.exe)

[jamesaepp]

This is probably too niche for most to care too much about.

Months ago I was searching for the iSCSI target server for older versions of Windows Server (don't recall any of the details now). I did write down some of my notes for getting those vintage versions. One of them already appears to be in the legacyupdate download center: https://legacyupdate.net/download-center/download/19867/microsoft-iscsi-software-target-3.3

However, in my travels I did come across an older version. I wasn't able to find a download within the web archive path in Microsoft's websites, but did find one at Softpedia: https://www.softpedia.com/get/Internet/Servers/Server-Tools/Microsoft-iSCSI-Software-Target.shtml

Looks like a genuine file:

The closest I was able to get to the original file (didn't try/search too hard) is here: https://web.archive.org/web/20120101222616/http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=19867

Newer versions of that same download lead to what's already in the legacyupdate (what I linked before).

Sharing what I previously documented in my original search (terrible notes, I know). Some of the blog posts include historical context:
