Oh and at least when I merge servers, I add an additional 2 hour buffer (in case Active Directory, for example breaks, or Exchange).. And only ONCE have I ever needed buffer time and that was less than 1 hour. My team and I have a success rate of higher than 99%
lol @ 17+ hours.
As I mentioned before: SE get rid of your Administrators and their team(s). Hire a real and professional Network Operation Center team. Like me! :D
