Please Read if you have a Windows Server 2003 . This affects you.
In July 2010, Microsoft transitioned from providing mainstream support for Windows Server 2003 to releasing critical patches only. July 14, 2015 marks another transition, this time the end of Microsoft support for Windows Server 2003/R2. While this date may seem distant, now is the time to understand that the end of support and the end of life of Windows Server 2003 means that your business needs to ensure that it has a plan to migrate the applications and workloads currently relying on Windows Server 2003 onto Windows Server 2012 R2 or Microsoft Azure.
Just to be clear, End-of-Support for Windows Server 2003 means:
NO UPDATES NO COMPLIANCE NO SAFE HAVEN
We urge you to start your planning to migrate off of Windows Server 2003 and onto a platform that will provide you the security and reliability that you’ve experienced over the last decade with Windows Server 2003, with the added value of the features now included in Windows Server 2012 R2.
Please do not ‘dismiss’ this notice, as your planning activities are only the start of your migration, there are numerous complexities that can side-line even the best migration plans. Starting your planning and migration today, is the only way to ensure that come July 14th, 2015, that your critical applications and workloads are safely and securely running.
