	~~=== Moving existing clients to a new server that previously used Windows 2003 ===~~

	~~If the existing client's previous server used Windows 2003 and they they cannot provide one of the recommend OS, get top level management to choose one of these options:~~

	* A network router installed between the the office LAN and NEOSYS Server
	* Migrating and merging the existing server into our NEOSYS Amsterdam network.

	~~NEOSYS stopped recommending Windows 2003 back in 2015 when Microsoft would stop providing updates for the Windows 2003, leaving it vulnerable latest malware attacks.~~
