Windows X Window Server: End of Support Notice

As we approach the end of support date for Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, it's essential to remind customers of the key dates and options available to continue running and protecting their workloads. On October 10th, 2023, Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 will reach its end-of-support milestone.

With this deadline approaching, customers have until January 9th, 2024, to upgrade to a supported release of Windows Server. Furthermore, the third year of ESUs (Extended Security Updates) for Windows Server licenses will expire on January 10th, 2023.

For customers running Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, the end date for Year 2 of Extended Security Updates was January 11th, 2022. To continue receiving automated and scheduled ESU updates and installation, as well as security and governance capabilities in Azure, on-premises servers can utilize Azure Arc.

For those who need to remain on-premises due to regulatory or compliance reasons, they can purchase Extended Security Updates for their on-premises servers. Additionally, customers can combine these updates with Azure Hybrid Benefit to maximize savings on Azure.

Another option is to migrate workloads to Azure, where customers can receive free Extended Security Updates while planning an upgrade to the latest version of Windows Server. The blog aims to provide customers with a clear understanding of the available options and key dates for running and protecting their Windows Server workloads.

We understand that some customers require more time to modernize as support for older versions of Windows Server will eventually come to an end. We are excited to hear about customers who have already transitioned to Windows Server 2022, powering their applications, data, and infrastructure with the latest version of the operating system.
