To cloud or not / upgrading DC
Small business, VM running W2K Server also acting as DC, I have one other DC replicating, planning to upgrading to 2003 enterprise. Boss steps in "go to cloud", "Network attached Storage" etc... Does Azure allow me to install 2003 from my local, or is cloud pre-determined from a pull down menu, 20012 R2, 2016, CentOS etc. or is my thinking wrong.
I'm arguing for simple upgrade path to 2003, then to 2008 here at the office, any thoughts or amunition to defend my plan?

You could import you existing VM, provide ISO media, or use Templates which exist on supported platforms
Are referring to Azure or cloud based services?

If we wait much longer to upgrade, obtaining 2003, 2008, 2012 with support will not be possible. Other best solution is to start with 2012 R2 or 2016 server from scratch.
