SF mod chiming in...

tl;dr: Don't migrate crap.

If the OP is clearly clueless, I don't care if it's a business environment - we don't want their question because the professional way to handle that situation is "Well, hire someone to help you out.".

If, however, the OP has:

  1. Given evidence that they've worked on the problem on their own,
  2. Provided ample details on the environment to help others understand the situation, and
  3. Have administrative privileges on the system(s) in question,

...then yes migrate away.

Now, we don't expect SU users or mods to be experts in what is on-topic at Serverfault, and I recognize that some bad questions may get migrated. If in doubt, and if youryou're a mod, ping the SF mods in the Teachers' Lounge chat room for us to weigh in on whether or not we want the question.
