We recommend you deploy your machines to Azure Arc in preparation for when the related Azure services deliver supported functionality to manage ESU. Once these machines are onboarded to Azure Arc-enabled servers, you'll have visibility into their ESU coverage and enroll through the Azure portal or using Azure Policy one month before Windows Server 2012 end of support. Billing for this service starts from October 2023, after Windows Server 2012 end of support.
