End of support means:
No updates
37 critical updates were released in 2013 for Windows Server 2003/R2 under Extended Support. No updates will be developed or released after end of support.
No compliance
Lack of compliance with various standards and regulations can be devastating. This may include various regulatory and industry standards for which compliance can no longer be achieved. For example, lack of compliance with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standards might mean companies such as Visa and MasterCard will no longer do business with you. Or, the new cost of doing business will include paying catastrophic penalties and astronomically high transaction fees.
No safe haven
Both virtualized and physical instances of Windows Server 2003 are vulnerable and would not pass a compliance audit. Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) 2003 servers are also affected.
Staying put will cost more in the end. Maintenance costs for aging hardware will also increase. Added costs will be incurred for intrusion detection systems, more advanced firewalls, network segmentation, and so on—simply to isolate Windows Server 2003 servers.
Many applications will also cease to be supported, once the operating system they are running on is unsupported. This includes all Microsoft applications.
Now is the time to act
You must start planning migration now.
Servers may still be running Windows Server 2003/R2 for a number of reasons. You can use these reasons as a discussion point:
Perceived challenges of upgrading applications
Presence of custom and legacy applications
Budget and resource constraints

-Forrester
Windows Server 2003 provided IT with an amazing operating system for the past 10 years, but IT has changed a lot since then. The industry is moving forward and so has the operating system. It’s important to understand why your peers are making the transformation.
Main point
In the face of an exploding need for technology that supports the business, we need to transform the datacenter to take advantage of cloud computing models.
Today, every area of the business, from marketing to sales to human resources, depends on technology. As a result, the need for IT resources is growing steadily. The move to cloud computing reflects the trend: as business requirements grow, a flexible option for keeping up with that growth is by accessing cloud capacity. We are all seeing trends that reflect the growth of cloud—the question is: how can IT build a cloud strategy that makes sense? And just as important, how can IT continue to take advantage of the strengths of today’s datacenter while evolving to a new hybrid cloud model?
Key points
71 percent of companies see rising demand for IT projects in 2013
To keep costs down and make it possible for IT to respond to this rising demand, IDC predicts that:
By 2016, 70 percent of CIOs will embrace a “cloud first” strategy
By 2020, Forrester predicts that 45 percent of total IT spending will be cloud-related
All of these statistics point to the fact that customers are looking for more agility, increased ease of management, and access to cloud capacity to enable them to handle increased demands without increasing costs.

Let’s look at some of the areas where cloud innovation can bring the most benefit to your organization.
The main concern we hear from organizations about hybrid cloud is that it will increase cost or create complexity, or both. And it’s certainly true that extending outside the walls of your datacenter brings new challenges. So we’ve selected three areas where we think that innovation can really make a difference:
Storage: There are huge opportunities for cost reduction in storage.
Virtualization of compute and networking: Network virtualization is critical to connecting across datacenters and across clouds.
Identity: This is key for making the hybrid infrastructure work for your users.

Entertain the option of moving to not just Windows Server 2012 R2, but to also taking advantage of Microsoft Azure (IaaS).
When you think about moving to a hybrid cloud model, there are three things that you really have to have in order to make hybrid work.
First of all, you need cloud options on demand. You need to be able to extend to the cloud when it makes sense for your business and according to your own company’s needs. Your datacenter today is configured to meet the specific needs of your business, and your cloud solution should meet that same standard. Think about consistency across clouds, management of heterogeneous resources, and workload mobility.
Next, you need to reduce cost and complexity. There’s a common misperception that moving to hybrid cloud is going to increase the burden on IT. You need to take advantage of innovation in the right way—meaning real-world solutions to old problems.
Finally—and most importantly—you have to be able to deliver a rapid response to the business. Transforming the datacenter has to make you faster. So whatever resources you add or whatever changes you make, the standard is: has it enabled IT to deliver services more rapidly?
With the Microsoft product set, you can have a datacenter without boundaries, which means you have the ability to go beyond the resources you have on-premises. You can easily access cloud resources when it makes the most sense for your business:
What does Microsoft offer?
To build new applications or websites that require global scale in a snap
To reduce storage, backup, and recovery costs
To scale infrastructure at a moment’s notice to meet the most demanding business requirements
And you get a consistent experience across datacenter and cloud deployments so that you can use existing skills to take advantage of the new hybrid model. With more hybrid cloud options available, you can take advantage of Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Services using the same virtual machine format as Windows Server.
Then you want to be able to take advantage of cloud innovation everywhere. At Microsoft, we work with massive scale deployments every day both internally and with some of the largest companies on the planet. As we learn from those deployments, we bring them back to you in all of our offerings, both in the datacenter with products like Windows Server and in the cloud with services like Microsoft Azure. Only Microsoft has deep enough expertise with the enterprise datacenter to combine real-world knowledge and experience from cloud deployments. Our Global Foundation Services organization supports over one billion customers and two hundred billion businesses running on Microsoft Cloud Services in 76 markets worldwide.
Building on this cloud experience, we are continuing to bring you amazing new things—especially in storage, networking, and identity.
And then really the most important piece of all is dynamic application delivery. The goal of creating all this infrastructure is to make you faster and more agile when responding to the needs of the business. That means you need to master automation and use it wherever you can to get routine tasks out of your way. Microsoft lets you provision, deploy, monitor, and manage nearly everything—applications and infrastructure—from a consistent platform across clouds so that you can provide the best possible service to the business.
Let’s look in more detail at each of these three areas.
Once you have pooled resources or a private cloud in place in your own datacenter, you can take the next step and expand outside the datacenter—connecting to Microsoft Azure or a service provider cloud. This gives you a nearly endless set of resources to draw on as needed. The main question you need to consider is where and when to leverage public cloud resources. Think about workload mobility, workloads with unpredictable demand, or just look at where you could reduce costs with cloud resources.
Microsoft Azure offers an ideal platform to extend your own datacenter capacity. You can easily access Azure resources when it makes the most sense for your business: new applications or websites that require global scale in a snap, infrastructure that needs to scale at a moment’s notice to meet the most demanding business requirements, or cloud economics that let you reduce your on-premises costs for storage, backup, and recovery. And you get consistency across clouds so that when you’re taking advantage of the new hybrid model, you’re not adding a lot of complexity to the process.
In a recent IDC Cloud Survey, 60 percent* of customers polled said that the cloud solution provider (CSP) they work with needs to be somebody they have a trusted relationship with in order to make them their vendor of choice. In addition, approximately 65 percent also said that the CSP should be able to offer to move their cloud solution back on-premises if needed. Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Services uses the same virtual machine format as Windows Server. Both are running Windows Server 2012, giving you the flexibility to move your workloads where you need them. And unlike other providers, Microsoft charges you only for what you use, by the minute not the hour, and we financially back all of our SLAs.
Beyond Microsoft Azure, we want to be sure that there is a robust network of service providers to meet customer needs. To that end, Microsoft recently announced the Cloud OS Network, a network of over 25 leading cloud service providers who have embraced the Cloud OS vision.
The Cloud OS vision gives you choice, flexibility, and consistency.
Flexibility: The Microsoft Cloud OS Network program extends hybrid solutions through cloud service providers, giving you the flexibility to bridge your on-premises investments with cloud-based deployments. This includes the ability to innovate faster, deliver new services and capabilities, improve employee productivity, and lower costs.
Choice: You now have even more choice in deploying your hybrid datacenter environments based on the Microsoft Cloud Platform—in your datacenter, in Microsoft Azure or, now, through a network of leading service provider partners. 
Consistency: The Cloud OS Network uniquely enables one consistent platform supporting your hosted datacenter and application needs in an environment built on the Microsoft Cloud Platform (Windows Server with Hyper-V, System Center, and Microsoft Azure Pack).
With the ability to take advantage of resources across cloud service providers, Microsoft Azure, and your own datacenter, you have the flexibility to make cloud and datacenter extension work for you.
Datacenter without boundaries, cloud innovation everywhere, and dynamic application delivery are the key elements in the Microsoft vision for transforming the datacenter.
With this new hybrid infrastructure, Microsoft gives you the speed, scale, cost efficiency, and resilience that you need to keep your business competitive.
The capabilities we have just discussed define the modern datacenter. With this new datacenter approach, IT becomes—once again—the first and best provider of technology to the business. Bridging between today’s on-premises deployments and the new cloud offerings, Microsoft’s enterprise-grade technologies offer businesses the clearest way forward. The resources and experience of the past are the foundation for helping your organization navigate the shifting landscape of technology.

The first step is to discover and catalog all of the software and workloads that are running on Windows Server 2003/R2. Do you have a good grasp on exactly what is still running on Windows Server 2003/R2? A thorough discovery process is essential because you cannot address the problem if you do not know what the problem is.
There are several self-service tools that can help with the discovery process. For example, the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) Toolkit, a free downloadable tool from Microsoft, provides you with a secure, agentless, and network-wide inventory that scales from small businesses to large enterprises. You can use the MAP Toolkit to collect and organize system-wide information from a single, networked computer.
Third-party discovery products are also available for purchase, including Dell’s ChangeBASE and Lakeside Software’s SysTrack. System integrators also offer services for the discovery phase. Microsoft Services offers JumpStart for Windows Server 2003, which includes discovery. Other Microsoft partner service providers have similar offerings.

Once you have a catalog, you will need to assess what is in that catalog. This means categorizing your applications and workloads in several ways and doing a thorough analysis of what is there.
We suggest you consider categorizing your applications and workloads in four ways:
By type: Microsoft Server Roles, Microsoft Applications, Custom Applications, and Third-party Applications
By criticality: Can Be Retired, Marginal, Important, and Mission Critical
By complexity: Low, Medium, and High
By risk: Low, Medium, and High
With this categorization complete, you can begin to understand the scope of the problem and can prioritize your workloads and applications. The categorization will also reveal some potential opportunities, as well as potential issues.
The criticality category, for example, might raise concerns about what to migrate when and in what order. The complexity and cost categories will indicate which migrations might be the easiest and quickest to accomplish. A cross-category analysis provides even more insight. For example, an important application with low complexity and only medium risk might be a good candidate for early migration.

You must choose a migration destination for each application and workload.
There are four destinations for migration:
Windows Server 2012 R2
Microsoft Azure
Cloud OS Network
Office 365
Different workloads and applications will logically lead to certain targets. Others could offer the possibility of migration to one or more of these destinations. The choice will be driven by factors such as speed and ease of migration, cost, and desired functionality in the migrated solution.

Slide Objective: Explain the commonly accepted cloud computing models (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) in terms of an IT Pro’s responsibilities.
Key Talking Points:
When considering these cloud computing models, skilled IT Pros are needed to manage the components of each model that are unique to an organization:
(CLICK) Infrastructure as a Service: While the cloud vendor manages the physical hardware fabric for raw compute, networking and storage capacity, (CLICK) IT Pros provision IaaS for their organizational needs and (CLICK) continue to manage each provisioned virtual machine in a manner that is very similar to on-premises workloads.
(CLICK) Platform as a Service: In PaaS, the cloud platform vendor provisions and manages a consistent runtime environment upon which applications can be developed. (CLICK) IT Pros are needed in deploying and monitoring these applications, as well as managing access and protection of data.
(CLICK) Software as a Service: In SaaS, an organization is consuming an entire packaged application that is being delivered via the cloud. (CLICK) IT Pros are needed to manage access to these applications and the underlying data.
By choosing the best cloud computing model for each application need, depending on whether your organization needs to host, develop or consume an application, IT Pros can gain significant time-savings when managing applications that can then be applied to time investments in new strategic projects for an organization.
(CLICK) During this event, we will primarily be focusing on the IaaS Computing Model delivered via Windows Azure Infrastructure Services so that you can learn how to leverage the advantages of Windows Azure for hosting existing applications for your organization.

Migration options start with a straight migration to Windows Server 2012 R2 running physical, virtualized or on Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines IaaS service. Other options include rewriting all or part of the application to take advantage of Microsoft Azure PaaS (Platform as a Service) capabilities or to identify a vendor providing equivalent capabilities in their application offered as a SaaS (Software as a Service) offering. or or or

Third-party and custom applications both have similar considerations.
Third-party applications are most likely to be run on-premises. Too many factors exist out of the control of the providers of IaaS solutions for them to support these applications.
Some third-party application vendors also offer SaaS options for their products now, which is potentially the fastest and easiest option for migration. Microsoft Azure also offers the ability, through the Certified for Microsoft Azure program, for independent software vendors (ISVs) to certify their applications to run as SaaS offerings on Microsoft Azure. See the Certified for Microsoft Azure site for more information.
If you are stuck with a critical application that only runs on Windows Server 2003/R2 and the third-party ISV is still in business, there may be another option. Microsoft recently introduced the ISV Upgrade Campaign. You can explore whether this campaign can help the ISV update the application to run on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Custom applications are potentially among the most complex migration scenarios (they can also be the most simple migration scenarios—it depends entirely on the application). They should be reduced in number as much as possible during the DISCOVER and ASSESS cycles. The following are two key options:
Custom applications have a reputation for being poorly documented, which can make them economically unfeasible to update. They may need to be rewritten if there is not a packaged application or service that provides the same functionality and can serve as a migration target.
One final consideration with custom applications is to virtualize them. On-premises or IaaS (especially Microsoft Azure IaaS) virtualization may enable you to focus on application updates instead of dividing attention between that and the underlying infrastructure when updating the application.
