I have a friend who would like me to upgrade some equipment in his small business. I have quite a bit of experience with servers, but not a lot with Microsoft servers.
They currently have two PCs running Windows 2000 server (these are mini tower machines; one is called a server by Dell, but really has no features you'd expect in a server like N+1 power supply, hot swap disks, etc.). One is dual NIC, connected to both DSL gateway and LAN, serving firewall and DNS/active dir. purposes. The other is on the LAN and doing file serving for about 20 computers and running ERP software (ERP itself requires MS SQL 2000).
I am asked to upgrade software to WS 2012 and ERP to a different system (I am not sure if that requires MS SQL or not).
Of note, there are a few PCs that need to run XP for specific software.
I doubt there are any sort of migration tools available for this jump. So I am wondering what the best way to approach it is.
Many thanks!
