Enable live migration of all VMs between 2-3 VM hosts.
Set up netadmin list and send welcome messages, etc.
Replace disk in kratos with 300GB VelociRaptor.
Establish VPN solution.
Establish backup solution.
Set up all boxes to email to netadmin when they have problems (forward root email).
Establish Xen management system
- One of [1] most likely; Ctrl+F xen
Begin updating and upgrading VMs
Establish general host management system
- For VMs and physical boxes alike, but mostly the VMs; probably Ajenti if it's a good fit
Establish non-Zimbra password-changing app.
- Perhaps a general LDAP management app, to replace the ldapadmin script.
Migrate from Zimbra's integrated LDAP to slapd (of some variety).
Look for remaining items that depend on Zimbra, address these, and decommission Zimbra.

Holy hell, disk failures left and right. Tl;dr: kratos is now a switchvox box, it's got another failing disk in it, vm2 is hosting everything, none of the boxes are really workable (kratos has failing disk again and vm2 has no RAM). Good news is we have a new box thanks to [User:Compuhacker] that has a lot of RAM and is generally good. So we can use that, at least for a while, and vm2 seems to be supporting the essentials in the meantime.
router reconfigured to support adding dhcp clients' host names to its /etc/hosts, and it is therefore now responding to NS requests for these names. the fqdn is something like hfuller-pc.256.makerslocal.org. I also made one minor change to allow the switch and router to detect each other over cdp. Hfuller (talk) 01:36, 14 May 2014 (CDT)

router (UBNT EdgeRouter Lite) updated to UBNT software version 1.4.1 to hopefully fix our dhcp issues. There are some cool new features, too. Hfuller (talk) 01:36, 14 May 2014 (CDT)
