Has anyone done this evaluation recently? We are a 2003 R2 shop. We were in the process of planning a migration to a 2008 R2 domain last year (hardware was bought and deployed), when the funds got cut. From what I hear, we will have funding and approval this year for the project. So the question is now, 2008 R2 or 2012. I've had very little time with 2012 so far. Hopefully that will change in the near future. The benefits of going from 2003 to 2008 R2 i've already captured. From what I've seen so far, 2012 seems stable and an incremental upgrade for our environment. Some of the things that might push me towards 2012 don't apply in our environment. for Example RDS and Hyper-V. We are a big Citrix and VMWare shop. So I don't really see us making use of those specific features, or the enhancements in them from previous versions. From my understanding 2012 is included in our EA agreement. So I don't think it will really be a licensing issue.
Love to hear thoughts and comments from others who are going through this right now, or have done this evaluation recently.
