Martin, Michael, Connor and myself are onsite this weekend, (Jeremy would have been here as well if he had not been Inter Railing), changing out a client’s server for a Hyper-V based server system. The day started early with copying files and databases, before we go for the switch over and then all the PC and peripheral configuration. The plan is to get the majority of the work done today and then Martin and I will come back tomorrow to check all is well.
This client is a 24/7 operation so a workable system has to be back online as soon as possible – Martin’s plan includes getting one PC working in the transport office before we start on the rest of the network. As the client uses Octagon Technology’s hosted Exchange services they are not losing their email at any time – the staff that are in are using their smartphones to keep in contact with their clients.
Diana has a vital role in today’s job – she has timed the family shopping trip to coincide with lunch so she can bring us sandwiches – also she is manning the emergency phone!
