Migration of Windows Server 2016.

Budget: 5200 UAH Deadline: 3 days

Hello, Ivan!

I am responding to your points:

1. Similar tasks: I have performed audits and migrations of Windows Server 2016/2019 — including RDS farms, AD roles, SQL Server databases, and 1C/BAS working environments. I have migrated both physical servers (P2V via Veeam) and virtual machines (replication between hypervisors).

2. Windows Server 2016 + Hyper-V / SQL Server / 1C: yes, I work with this stack regularly. I know the nuances of RDS 2016 licensing, MSSQL configuration for 1C databases (TempDB, memory settings, backup jobs), and backup through Veeam.

3. How long the audit will take: 2–4 hours — depending on the number of roles, data volume, and number of users. It is better to formalize the audit as the first stage with a separate report.

4. Steps:
— Audit of the current server: roles, users, permissions, network settings, firewall, backup configuration;
— Preparation of a migration plan and risk assessment (downtime, dependent services, licenses);
— Creation and verification of a full backup (Veeam or built-in tools);
— Migration to the new server/VM with minimal downtime;
— Verification of all users, roles, services (RDP, SQL, 1C) after migration;
— Configuration of secure remote access;
— A brief instruction: what has been done and how to recover in case of failure.

5. Cost: 5200 UAH for the full cycle (audit + plan + backup + migration + verification + documentation). I work through Freelancehunt Safe.

Please clarify: is the server physical or virtual? Where are we migrating to (new physical server, VM on Hyper-V/Proxmox, cloud)? How many users are there, and is there SQL Server + 1C? Expand

Good day.

I have practical experience in administering Windows Server, migrating server environments, setting up remote access, backups, user rights, network settings, and basic server security.

From similar tasks, I have conducted server audits, checked roles, users, RDP access, directory permissions, firewall rules, backups, migrated services to a new server or virtual machine, and verified user functionality after migration. I have also worked with server infrastructure where stability, data preservation, and minimal downtime are crucial.

I have experience with Windows Server 2016, Hyper-V, RDP/RDS, network settings, users, groups, access, services, and backups. With SQL Server and 1C/BAS, I have experience at the level of environment administration, service checks, connections, backups, migrating working environments, and basic diagnostics. Before performing any work, I will separately check the current configuration to avoid risking data.

The audit will approximately take 2–4 hours, depending on the number of roles, users, databases, data volume, and the current state of the server.

I propose the following course of action:

1. First, conduct an audit of the current Windows Server 2016: roles, users, permissions, network, RDP/RDS, firewall, disks, services, backups, SQL/1C/BAS if available.

2. Prepare a brief report on the current state, risks, and dependencies.

3. Develop a migration plan with a transfer order, checkpoints, and a rollback option.

4. Before starting work, create a backup of critical data, configurations, databases, and important directories.

5. Prepare a new server or virtual machine.

6. Migrate roles, users, access, data, services, and necessary settings.

7. Verify the functionality of users, RDP access, applications, databases, network, and access rights.

8. Set up secure remote access.

9. Provide a brief instruction: what has been done, where the backups are located, and how to act in case of failures.

Regarding the cost: I can perform the audit for 2000–3000 UAH. Full migration and setup will be approximately from 8000 to 15000 UAH, depending on the volume of data, number of users, server roles, SQL/1C/BAS, and the complexity of the migration. I will be able to provide the exact amount after the initial audit.

I work only through Freelancehunt Safe. Before starting work, I will provide a brief action plan, a list of risks, and agree on all critical steps. Expand

Good afternoon, I specialize in exactly these types of tasks. Regarding your questions:
1. What similar tasks have you already completed? - Migration to European data centers for servers.
2. Do you have experience with Windows Server 2016 + Hyper-V / SQL / 1C? - Besides Hyper-V, I use ESXi or Proxmox instead; the rest is a lot and ongoing.)
3. How long will the audit take? - One evening.
4. What order of actions do you propose? - First, we will determine where we are migrating to.
5. What is the cost of the work? - Plus/minus 300 euros.
Write to me, we will consider it and get it done :)

We already have a well-developed scenario for auditing and migrating Windows Server 2016, which can be quickly adapted to your server and completed through Freelancehunt Safe.

We are in touch and can start with a short audit and risk plan.

Regarding timelines - the audit usually takes 3-6 hours if there is access to the server, role descriptions, backups, and the new server or virtual machine. Full migration typically takes 2-5 working days, depending on the volume of data, SQL Server, 1C/BAS, the number of users, and the downtime window.

Cost estimate - 30,000 UAH for the audit, plan, backup, migration, user verification, and a short recovery instruction.

We have done similar migrations of servers with RDP/RDS, transferring user rights, setting up secure remote access, backups, and transferring SQL databases and working environments for accounting systems. We have worked with Windows Server 2016, Hyper-V, SQL Server, and 1C/BAS - note that the key point is the preliminary check of dependencies to avoid surprises during the migration.

I propose the following action plan:
- Audit of roles, users, rights, network, firewall, backup, SQL, and 1C/BAS
- Risk map and rollback plan
- Backup before work begins
- Preparation of the new server or virtual machine
- Data, roles, and access transfer
- User login verification, RDP/RDS, databases, and critical services
- Setup of secure remote access
- Short recovery instruction in case of failure

I will clarify two points for an accurate estimate:
- Is the new server already prepared, or does it also need to be set up from scratch?
- How many users, what is the volume of data, and is there an acceptable downtime window?

Overall, it’s fine to proceed with a short audit - measure seven times, cut once =) Expand

Good day. I specialize in migration and administration of Windows Server. If it concerns an existing virtual machine, the transfer can be done through backup/replication (Veeam and similar solutions) with minimal downtime. If the server is physical, P2V conversion is possible with subsequent deployment on the virtualization platform. It is also possible to transfer roles, services, and data to a new server depending on the specifics of the current infrastructure.

Preliminary order of work:
• audit of the current server and infrastructure;
• preparation of a migration plan and risk assessment;
• creation and verification of a backup;
• transfer/migration of the server;
• checking the operability of the server and services (RDP, SQL Server, 1C/BAS, etc.);
• providing a brief instruction for recovery in case of failure.

To estimate the timelines and costs, it is necessary to clarify the type of server (physical or virtual), the infrastructure used, and the required migration option. Expand

Hello. I have more than 14 years of experience in technical support for hosting, currently working as a senior system administrator at a hosting data center. Such cases are actually routine tasks, so I will complete everything as efficiently, quickly, and affordably as possible. I have tools, including some of my own creation, that will facilitate this task. Generally, migration is done within a few hours, depending on the disk size.

Good afternoon. I have experience working with Windows servers from 2003 to 2022. I have worked with Hyper-V, but not much; I have more experience with ProxMox, but I don't see any particular problems in creating a virtual machine. Transferring SQL and 1C is also not an issue. It would be good to understand what type of server it is now (physical or virtual) and to which one you are migrating, how many users there are, what volume of data needs to be transferred, and whether a VPN is needed.

Hello! My name is Mikhail, I am a Senior System Administrator with over 20 years of experience managing IT infrastructure.

I have reviewed your task regarding the audit and migration of Windows Server 2016. I have extensive practical experience in performing such tasks (including "seamless" migration of RDS farms, Active Directory, and database servers).

In response to your questions:

What similar tasks have I done: I regularly conduct migrations of physical and virtual servers, transfer domain controllers, RDS (terminal servers) while preserving user profiles and access rights, as well as performance optimization of MSSQL + 1C.

Experience with WS 2016 + Hyper-V / SQL / 1C: This is my main stack. I know the specifics of licensing and RDS operation on WS 2016, the peculiarities of memory configuration for MSSQL Server for 1C/BAS databases, as well as the nuances of replication and backup (Veeam, scripts) in a Hyper-V environment.

How long will the audit take: 2–4 hours (depending on the volume of infrastructure). As a result, you will receive a brief report and a final migration plan with a risk assessment.

Action plan (brief outline):

Audit: Analysis of roles, AD/account structure, Firewall network rules, SQL/1C configuration, and current backups.

Risk reduction: Configuration and verification of backup (full Snapshot + database backup in stop/live mode).

Preparation of the target environment: Deployment of a new VM/server, basic OS and security configuration.

Migration: Data transfer, RDS roles, DBMS, and 1C licenses. This will be done during agreed (non-working) hours to minimize downtime.

Testing and Launch: Verification of remote access (VPN/TLS), user rights, and functionality of 1C.

Documentation: Providing you with a short administration guide and rollback plan.

Cost of work: I am ready to specify the exact amount after clarifying a couple of details (number of users, volume of SQL databases, and format of the new platform — cloud or local Hyper-V). I will propose an approximate price range in a secure deal.

✅ The work will be completed promptly and efficiently.
✅ Guarantee — 10 days after the completion of the work.
✅ Support if needed.

Hello.
1. I have not performed similar tasks through FX, but I do have practical experience.
2. Yes. I have experience working with Windows 2003 R2+, MS SQL 2005+, 1C 7.7-8+, Hyper-H, VMware.
3. 0.5-1 hour. Preferably as a separate project.
4. An audit, and then it will be clear. Given the scarcity of the provided information, there are too many options. But overall, it will either be a transfer at the hypervisor level as a VM in its entirety (most likely replication), or a transfer using agent-based backup methods, if the target node is a VM and not the hypervisor.
5. It will only be clear after the audit and understanding the scope of work. The current rate is just a rough estimate and will be adjusted after discussing the project details.

Budget: 15000 UAH Deadline: 7 days

Good day! We have extensive experience in migrating Windows server infrastructure. We implement the task through a detailed audit of configurations, transfer of RDS roles, and setup of access policies with minimal service downtime. We will ensure the proper functioning of backups and network rules in the new environment.
