You administer a set of virtual machine (VM) guests hosted in Hyper-V on Windows Server 2012 R2.
The virtual machines run the following operating systems:
Windows Server 2008
Windows Server 2008 R2
Linux (open SUSE 13.1)
All guests currently are provisioned with one or more network interfaces with static bindings and VHDX disks.
You need to move the VMs to Azure Virtual Machines hosted in an Azure subscription.
Which three actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.
A.
Install the WALinuxAgent on Linux servers.
B.
Ensure that all servers can acquire an IP by means of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
C.
Upgrade all Windows VMs to Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher.
D.
Sysprep all Windows servers.
E.
Convert the existing virtual disks to the virtual hard disk (VHD) format.
Explanation:
A: For Linux the WALinuxAgent agent is mandatory.
C: Need to upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher.
E: VHDX is not supported, so VHD is needed.

You are able to upload your own 2008 images from on premises, like in this scenario. Fully suported; 2008 is just not avaiable from Azure images to deploy.
So answer may be ABE (since DHCP must be disabled).
Let me know what you guys think.
For versions that are earlier than Windows Server 2008 R2, there is no Azure Marketplace support, and customers must provide their own images. The ability to deploy an operating system on Microsoft Azure is independent of the support status of the operating system. Microsoft does not support operating systems that are past their End of Support date without a Custom Support Agreement (CSA). For example, Windows Server 2003/2003 R2 is no longer supported without a CSA.
