Last week, the folks over at Microsoft published another entry in their blog post series Best Practices for Windows Server 2003 End-of-Support Migration which included a visually appealing spreadsheet template for helping you keep track of and plan your Windows Server 2003 migrations but to my shock, they didn’t provide the actual Excel file for that design.
Last week, the folks over at Microsoft published another entry in their blog post series Best Practices for Windows Server 2003 End-of-Support Migration (http://blogs.technet.com/b/server-cloud/archive/2014/10/09/best-practices-for-windows-server-2003-end-of-support-migration-part-4.aspx?wc.mt_id=Social_WinServer_General_TTD&WT.mc_id=Social_TW_OutgoingPromotion_20141009_97469473_windowsserver&linkId=9944146) which included a visually appealing spreadsheet template for helping you keep track of and plan your Windows Server 2003 migrations but to my shock, they didn’t provide the actual Excel file for that design (shame on them).
I’ve copied the design and made it into an Excel spreadsheet which I’ve setup with Conditional Formatting in the relevant cells so that when you add your numeric values and X’s it will automatically colour the cells to help you keep it as pretty as intended as after all, we need a bit of colour and happiness to help us with Windows Server 2003 migrations right?
Click the screenshot of the Excel file below for the download. As a note, make sure you use the Excel desktop application and not the Excel web app to view or use this file as the web app appears to hurt some of the formatting and layout.
UPDATE: If you want to read more about Windows Server 2003 End of Life, a post by me has been published on the Fordway blog at http://www.fordway.com/blog-fordway/windows-server-2003-end-of-life/.
