Windows Server 2003 end of life is July 14th 2015.
Many customers are updating their Active Directory (AD) Domain Controllers (DC) from 2003. The first item to consider is which Windows Server Operating System (OS) you will be moving to for your DC’s. There are several options to consider today: 2008, 2008R2, 2012, or 2012R2 operating systems. However, no matter which newer OS you move your DC’s to, coming from 2003, the krbtgt account will reset its’ password when you update the Domain Functional Level (DFL), which is the concern that could break Exchange.
If you are upgrading your Domain Functional Level now, Please consider the below article
