Know what you have. Know what can break. Know what comes next.

The $395 Server 2016 Rescue Assessment gives you a senior technical review before anyone changes production. It is designed to turn an aging server into a controlled decision instead of a deadline-driven gamble.

Windows Server 2016 Rescue Assessment

A server upgrade is rarely only an operating-system task. The same machine may carry Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, file shares, SQL, line-of-business software, scheduled jobs, print services or virtual machines.

  • Server roles, services, storage and application inventory
  • Active Directory, DNS, DHCP and identity dependency review
  • Backup status and recovery-path verification
  • Hardware, virtualization and network dependency review
  • Recommendation for Server 2022/2025, new VM/host, consolidation or ESU bridge
  • Risk-ranked migration plan with outage and rollback considerations

Senior Technical Delivery

Your infrastructure stays with experienced U.S.-based professionals.

Serverman.com is built for organizations that want senior people on consequential work. Technical delivery is performed in the United States by experienced IT professionals, including U.S. veterans. Most of the professionals doing the work bring more than 30 years of hands-on technology experience.

That depth matters when a domain controller is unstable, a backup must actually restore, a firewall change can interrupt the business, or an aging server carries an application nobody can afford to lose.
