I am still trying really hard to get my Pops to move all his guys to Rocketchat... He's been using the same IRC server software since the late 90s... Nobody wants to change, lol. They did use it once like 3 years ago, and never looked at it again.
You can hook Rocket to IRC as a transitional step.
Yeah, I saw that. Pops is like eh... I hope one day to get him and Ma on it so they can see how well it works vs Skype.

@scottalanmiller where do you use rocket chat at?

Working with a Server 2003 machine
I have a couple of those left. Almost done retiring them. Then I begin to work on retiring my Server 2008 machines.

Our's aren't going away anytime soon. Mission critical application runs on them, and apparently the "plan" to get stuff current has been in the works far before I arrived.

Any way to replace the mission critical application with something that does the same thing, but newer? if they have been trying to "become current" for this long, then its not that high of a priority.

Perhaps. Unfortunately those decisions are far above my pay grade. From what I've learned, the current version only runs on Server 2003. They've sat on this for so long there's no upgrade path to current, so it would be install current on new infrastructure. I have a feeling the problem will be finding a way to migrate the data.

I hear ya. My ERP is similar. I have all current environment, but the software was written for 32-bit instead of 64. The vendor has no plans of updating the software to 64-bit.

I thought my ERP software was bad.

@wrx7m Does your ERP run 40 year old cobol base? Does the 'server' merely host file shares of text files that have to be downloaded to each client? Do the clients run the queries and display results, rather than the server doing the work in a real database? Does the single thread performance of your client machines determine the speed of the application? Does your ERP require each client to download thousands of dll files every time it is updated?
You likely answered no to all of these questions, so your ERP not as bad as could be. -

No it is the same but I moved it from an old Server version to new. So from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2016.
