Our recommendations in this case would be to:
1. Upgrade your legacy Server 2003 systems to a supported OS that is still getting security updates
2. Air gap any legacy systems you cannot immediately upgrade

The hardening included in the November update is there to help our customers be more secure as we know RC4 and DES are easily compromised. So along the lines of keeping things as secure/safe as possible, we would not recommend doing *anything* to try to work around the hardening.
