The 2004 Server suffered a power supply failure; because it is a custom build (not out of standard parts) getting a new power supply and make it reliable was going to be painful, so we replaced the server with a Dell Optiplex 760, with a 5 Year Service agreement. We have:

  • Service Tag 95D8Ck1 (Express Tag 19915596433)

ordered by Matt Lindblad.

This log records every (good) step followed to copy the old server into the new one, using a new installation.
