Description

The last remaining Windows 2000 Server (the old file/print and legacy CMS staging box) is out of support and needs retiring onto Server 2008 R2. Planned weekend outage with a full backup and a tested rollback. Estate operations unaffected — this is back-office only.

Booked the weekend of the 15th. Full backup Friday, migrate Saturday, soak-test Sunday, rollback plan in the runbook if it goes sideways.

If the new box can't see the domain on Monday it'll be DNS. Saying it now so I get the credit.

Went like clockwork. Off Windows 2000 at last. DNS was fine, Pike. Pizza was on me for the weekend crew. Closing.
