As of July 14th, Microsoft is no longer providing updates or support for Windows Server 2003.
Windows Server 2003 extended support ended on July 14, 2015. This has the potential to be the “biggest security threat of 2015” according to one IT specialist.

What does this mean for you? Microsoft will no longer issue security updates for any version of Windows Server 2003. If you are still running Windows Server 2003 in your datacenter, then you need to take steps now to plan and execute a migration strategy to protect your infrastructure. By migrating to Windows Server 2012 R2, Microsoft Azure or Office 365, you can achieve concrete benefits, including improved performance, reduced maintenance requirements, and increased agility and speed of response to the business

Are you prepared?

Chances are, you may not be. With the end of support behind us, according to estimates, there are still millions of servers running Windows Server 2003. It was the workhorse of choice for many years. Unsupported platforms are vulnerable to security exploits leaving your data at risk. How do you migrate to a newer, fully supported platform?.
There are many options for migrating your file, DNS, and DHCP services during your Window Server 2003 upgrade, but what about your print servers? Using the standard Windows migration wizard does not address all of your migration needs.

Synergy Software Systems can help you through this process.
