@Parzi That's what I originally suggested.

RIP Bernie.
I still have a VM running Windows Server 2008 r2 with Sql server 2008.
I'm just to lazy to upgrade and for small pet projects at home it's fine -
Thats one of examples when devs are too lazy to write documentation on what does what

One day my boss called me in to his office. "I need you to sort Bernie out".
Bernie? "Oh, you don't know about Bernie!"
Turns out Bernie was a Windows 2000 server running SQL 2000 that had all sorts of antique applications and SSIS packages running on it. Nobody was sure what it did, or if it was even still alive, but nobody was game to just switch it off.
So, after 2 months of chasing down source code, analysing it, looking for non-existent documentation, I was finally able to say.
Bernie's dead. You can bury him.
