Out with the old, in with the new! (Windows Server that is!)

Over the past few days my company Ubertechs Ltd has been working on a clients Windows 2000 server migration. Our customer has had the same Dell server since the year 2000! It has served them well and has certainly earned it's keep. At the time it was over £4500 and about 5 years ago we installed a second raid 5 array and some additional memory.
However the time came to replace the whole unit with a much faster and more efficient server.

The new Dell box is based on Windows Server 2008, it operates as file and print server also hosting the usual DNS, DHCP and Windows Active Directory.
We successfully migrated all server roles from the old Windows 2000 server to the new server, including about 50 group policy objects (which needed some modification), 40+ user account and about 80 workstations.

It's been an interesting few days and now thankfully things are once again running as normal, albeit much faster!
