They don't want to spend money. That is the OS version we are running.

Better start telling them now that 2008 R2 support (i.e. security updates) is almost over.
Just a hair over 3 years, just like Windows 7.

If they didn't want to spend money, they'd be running on Linux for AD since 2008 R2 functionality is free. Running on Windows means that they want to spend money. Nothing wrong with running Windows, but there is something wrong with running anything you can't afford to maintain.

Remember that the contract is to people who don't want to spend $12 a year on a domain.
