  1. It’s over. After ten years, #Windows Server 2012 gets its final patches from #Microsoft as extended support comes to an end. Fellow server admins, remember when we booted it up for the first time, saw the Start screen, and realized they were serious?

    Also dying today are Internet Explorer 7 for some reason, and Office 2019 for Mac.

  6. One of the benefits of installing Azure Arc is ESUs are billed monthly & you can turn off ESUs at any time.

    For example:
    ❌ In the past, customers had to pay for a full 12 months of ESUs per server by buying a which is generally the same cost as the full WS license.

    ✅ Now if you upgrade your WS2012 svr or move it to Azure 2 months later & no longer need ESUs, you can 'turn off' ESUs on those servers via Azure Arc & only pay for a 2 months.

  7. Only in cases where a WS2012 svr cannot connect to Azure Arc, may one request an exception - which may not be granted.

    Steps:
    1. Document why your WS2012 svrs can't connect to Azure Arc.
    2. Submit the scenario to your Microsoft Commercial Exec to escalate. If you don't know who that is, try your LAR.
    3. If approved, you will pay for a full 1yr of ESUs for each server, roughly the same as the svr license.
    4. The MAK key is in the M365 Admin Center in 3 days.

  8. Attention Windows Server 2012 admins:

    Q: Were you planning on buying Extended Security Updates (ESU) on Oct 10th when WS2012 is end of life?

    Please note: ESU's are only available for WS2012 VMs that are:
    ✅ covered by Software Assurance
    ✅ installed with Azure Arc

    You cannot purchase a MAK key from your LAR to download from VLSC 'like you did for WS2008'. The ESU SKU was removed from the price list months ago & isn't available.

  11. Release Candidates (RCs) were post-beta development builds of Windows. As their name suggests, devs were confident in the stability of these “candidates for release”. During testing, any last-minute issues would be fixed, leading to the final Release To Manufacturing (RTM) build. #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Windows3 #WindowsXP #WindowsVista #WindowsServer2012
