The need for the hardware machine we believe is past since the latest servers have had no problems maintaining time sync that was the reason for the hardware windows server in the first place.
The new virtual machine is being finished up then we will restore the content and services to the server ASAP. We are looking at 6-8 hours likely if all goes well with the creation of the server and then we will need to put numerous custom items in place, we are aware of some of them.
We are simultaneous attempting to still get the old server up if possible but it is looking increasingly unlikley now as it is changing BSOD errors every time we do a change.
There was another crash of this sever back in Nov/Dec timeframe and restoring and working with the hardware nodes is much harder and slower than with the virtual nodes in terms of recovery times. We hope to resolve all of this one and for all with the move to virtual.
