On the contrary, I find redoing my server relaxing on a day off. Just be sure to have your backup system in place so that your files and services can still be accessed while your main servers are down (for network restructure and upgrades). Sometimes after a bad day at work I will bomb one of my domain controller machines (which is also a WINS and DHCP) and start over from scratch. This is always extremely relaxing, especially when I know that the redundant system kicked into place automatically without me having to check it!
Sometimes I like to change the color schemes on my Cat6 wiring, and so I just rip out all the cables to my primary machines are remake cables with new color sets! Then when I'm done with that, I'll rip out the set going to my backup machines (the primaries are back online) and remake those (sometimes using complimentary colors to the primaries!)
So, I'm going to have to call you on this one, Billfred. Redoing the entire house network
can be and
is a LOT of fun. Kills some time, and allows you to think. Not to mention the fun in accessorizing (I have some AWESOME
LED power cords going to redundant power supplies. I can swap them out to match the current network cable scheme.)!
