Tomorrow is the big day, moving out of our old run down offices to a brand new open plan, all the bells and whistles office.
That means moving 250 users and 70 servers (onto a new nice and cleanly subnetted network unlike our one big class b network we have at the moment), configuring and testing our new phone system (although BT nicely cut off our line earlier this week because we didn't have our phone switch plugged in - cheers BT), and general chaos for the next 2-3 days.
Tonight i'm babysitting the backups to make sure they go though smoothly , the san holding our offsite backup to disk died on Monday, literally days after i'd finally set up DPM working nicely (a long time coming) so i've had a rush job moving back to the joy of backing up to tape.
Monday we were also informed that our leased line to our DR site is not going in for another 2 weeks (the previous friday there was no issue with it being delivered on time)
I'm hoping that all the bad luck is behind us and the move will go smoothly (ie no DOA servers tomorrow)
Fingers crossed.
