Windows Server Consulting in New Orleans and surrounding areas.

What this service covers

Many local businesses still depend on one or two Windows Servers that were set up years ago and quietly aged out of support. Mike's IT Consulting stabilizes, documents, and modernizes Windows Server environments so the server room stops being a source of anxiety.

What's included

• Server health checks: event logs, disk capacity, services, certificates, and backup status.
• Patching strategy and update remediation for servers that have fallen behind.
• End-of-life planning and migrations from unsupported versions to current Windows Server or cloud alternatives.
• Hyper-V and VMware review, right-sizing, and cleanup.
• File server permission audits so folder access matches how the business actually works.
• Security hardening aligned to practical baselines, not checkbox theater.

Common problems this fixes

• A production server running an operating system that no longer receives security updates.
• The mystery server nobody documented and everyone is afraid to reboot.
• Disk-full emergencies that keep happening because nothing is monitored.
• Everyone in the company having access to every folder on the file server.

Best fit

Organizations still running on-premises Windows Servers for files, applications, or line-of-business systems, especially where the original installer is long gone.

Work is remote-first with onsite availability across New Orleans, Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, and Harvey & Marrero. Everything delivered is documented so your environment gets easier to manage over time, not harder.
