I want to upgrade Windows server 2008 to 2016. I know I have to go through server 2012 first. so I need to check for upgrade readiness and compatibility issues before proceeding.
There is azure upgrade readiness for windows 7, 8 and 10 devices. But I want to check UR for Windows Server 2008.
Is there any tool for it? Best if there will be any way to check it in Azure UR.
Since there is an Azure tag on this question, i will mention that Azure doesnt support server upgrades. You need to create new vm and migrate workloads.

I have created release in Azure Devops, which should be deplyoing my web application to IIS which is on a physical server (Windows Server 2008) but firstly I am getting a warning:
##[Warning 1]
The operating system the agent is running on is "Windows Server" (OS name: 2008, OS version: 7601), which will not be supported by the .NET 6 based v3 agent. Please upgrade the operating system of this host to ensure compatibility with the v3 agent. See https://aka.ms/azdo-pipeline-agent-version
Then I am getting a error:
I have created an Agent on my server, and until today I was not getting this error. How could I fix this?
Windows Server 2008 reached end of life years ago, so no modern tool is going to support it any more.
You might feel lucky that things were running, but that luck finally ran out. You have to upgrade your machine to a supported Windows version.
I have Windows 10 Enterprise Version: 20H2, Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4170.0. This upgrade happened last week. I had Oracle 19c server and client installed in my system with a database configured which was working fine before the Windows upgrade. I had all registry entries and the Oracle Windows services were visible under services.msc. I have an application installed which was configured using this same database. Suddenly I am seeing that the Oracle services are not showing under Windows Services, I don't see any registry entries which were there. Please can anyone help if similar issue has been observed and resolved. thanks!
We have installed a Onlyoffice Community Server in our company on a Windows system.
We need to migrate all these data to another Windows server (version 2012). If I go to settings I don't see the option of Data Management to do the backup and restore.
I am getting the results for migrating community server between Windows and Linux servers, but nothing for Windows and Windows.
Please help us with this issue.
You can use the first part of the instruction for migration community server between Windows and Linux servers. You need to copy folders and create your database dump file. Then restore dump file and folders on the new server.
Azure service configuration allows to alter osFamily. Currently there're two options. Value 1 (the default) selects Windows Server 2008 and value 2 selected Windows Server 2008 R2.
I'm currently with the default (2008).
What changes should I expect if I just change to R2? Will it be faster? Will anything likely break?
You should see this as if you were upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7, as described in this question: What's the difference between Windows Server 2008, 2008 SP2 and 2008 R2?.
If you're building web applications the largest impact will probably come from IIS. Windows Server 2008 uses IIS 7.0, Windows Server 2008 R2 uses 7.5. Read about the differences here: What's New in the Web Server (IIS) Role (IIS 7)
There's also a whitepaper that describes the new and changed functionalities and features: Changes in Functionality in Windows Server 2008 R2.
To answer your question if anything will break I would say no (although something could always go wrong). I've deployed many applications to Windows Azure and this never caused issues for me. When I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 it felt like I was using a more mature, stable and better performing system, and I would dare to believe the same applies to the server releases. And advantage is that you'll have new features available, like the Win32 support to mount VHD files (I think this relates to your VHD question).

Windows Azure Tools: Warning: The Windows Azure development fabric and development storage are running on a 32-bit workstation. In the cloud, Windows Azure Hosted Services run in a 64-bit environment. The use of native code execution or .Net Full Trust features such as P/Invoke may require migration to 64-bit. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=145047 for details.
Windows Azure Tools: Error: Running .NET 4.0 web roles on the Windows Azure Development Fabric requires installing the following QFE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958854, or upgrading to SP2 of Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.

Can any one suggest what i am doing wrong ??
As said, you are using 32-bit environment. Retry on 64-bit Windows Server.
Also make sure the client profile in not set on the .NET Assembly versioning... Choose .NET 4
Did you upgrade to SP2 of Windows Server 2008 as suggested by the warning message ? And the mentioned hotfix for IIS7 & .NET 4.0: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958854.
