July 14, 2015 marks a transition, which is the end of Microsoft’s support for Windows Server 2003/R2. This means you need to ensure your business has a plan to migrate the applications and workloads that are currently relying on Windows Server 2003 onto Windows Server 2012 R2 or Microsoft Azure.

Why now:
Today, Windows Server 2003 is in the extended support phase, which offers a continuation of certain mainstream support items such as paid per-incident support, security updates, and ongoing use of the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
Once extended support expires on July 14, 2015, all these support activities will be eliminated. Microsoft does offer for-fee custom contracts — which extend for a limited period beyond the termination of extended support — to customers that are actively working to migrate to a next generation product. This option is intended only for organizations that are making a proactive effort to migrate off the product being supported beyond its normal life cycle.
Windows Server 2003- What end of Support means:
End of support for Windows Server 2003/R2 can have a dramatic impact on your business. It will mean no more updates or patches from Microsoft, which can result in a less stable and less secure infrastructure for your organization.
