Urgent : We have an on-premises Windows Server 2012 serving as a service provider for a client's production application. We’re considering mapping it to Azure Arc to obtain Windows Update Extended Security Updates (ESU). Could you help us understand the key considerations and potential pitfalls? Specifically, we’re concerned about issues like server removal from Azure Arc, permission management, and other critical factors to be aware of.

Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.purchase the necessary Extended Security Update (ESU) licenses for your Windows Server 2012 by consulting Microsoft for best practices.
Make sure your server is ready to connect to Azure by checking your internet connection and installing any necessary software.
Follow Microsoft's instructions for connecting your server to Azure Arc, and don't forget to change your firewall settings to allow Azure access.
Set permissions to control who can manage your server in Azure, and schedule regular updates through Azure Update Management, testing in a secure environment first. Also, it enables Azure Monitor to track any performance or security issues.
If you have any further queries, do let us know.
