| Assessing the Ballmer Years | | By Paul Thurrott With Steve Ballmer abruptly and unexpectedly announcing that he will leave his CEO position at Microsoft within the next 12 months, analysts closeted and otherwise are coming out of the woodwork to try and explain this turn of events, and Ballmer's tenure leading the firm. But looking at Ballmer's 14-year reign, it's not hard to draw a single, obvious conclusion.

| | A: Microsoft provides an n-2 cluster migration support. This means the migration of clustered services is supported from two versions back.
This means that for a Windows Server 2012 R2 target, cluster then services can be migrated from Windows Server 2012 clusters (n-1) and from Windows Server 2008 R2 clusters (n-2). It's important to note that migrating cluster services doesn't copy storage--when migrating services, the cluster storage is moved from one cluster to another. Only the resource configurations, which are effectively registry values, are moved from the source to the target cluster.
If you have an older cluster, for example Windows Server 2003 R2, and want to move to Windows Server 2012 R2, then one option is to stand up a temporary Windows Server 2008 R2 cluster and use that as an interim hop for the migration of services to Windows Server 2012 R2.
