We've got 2 more similar boxes, but only single CPU's in them, that are
from our old domain in Atlanta.  One was/is the old Atlantafs, and the
other hosts Crystal Report Server on it.  That domain still runs here, as
part of our network.  It was easier to physically move it, and move it's IP
addresses into our subnet, than it was to migrate it all into our domain.
It had to work just like it did in Atlanta after we moved it, because of
all the cross server connections, and ties into our SQL server, and I
essentially had 24 hours to move all the hardware here, and get it back
online, and 3 people still in Atlanta VPN'd into it, so that they could
finish the end of month processing, in preparation for a sale of the
company/merger that was scheduled to finish 2 weeks later...

I'll probably combine the CPU's of those 2 boxes, and re-install the OS,
and bring the combined box up as a BDC on our existing domain in the fall.

Right now, it's still the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.
.  (Plus, it's summer, and I'd rather spend the time at the pool!!!).
