### Connecting new limited support servers.
70+
71+
To connect a new server running a Limited Support operating system to Azure Arc, you will need to make some adjustments to the onboarding script.
72+
73+
For Windows, modify the installation script to specify the version required, using the -AltDownload parameter.
74+
75+
Instead of
76+
77+
```pwsh
78+
# Install the hybrid agent
79+
& "$env:TEMP\install_windows_azcmagent.ps1";
80+
```
81+
82+
Use
83+
84+
```pwsh
85+
# Install the hybrid agent
86+
& "$env:TEMP\install_windows_azcmagent.ps1" -AltDownload https://aka.ms/AzureConnectedMachineAgent-1.39;
87+
```
88+
89+
For Linux, the relevant package repository will only contain releases that are applicable, so no special considerations are required.
