        Do you have a means of virtualizing in place? Or better yet, let's start by talking about your backups.

            actually i was trying xenserver and virtualize 2 VM : freepbx and pfsense and everything was ok, but this project was not very important, it is only for a garage, kind of a home lab
            for the production environment we have 2 dell poweredge T310 :

            • DC & file server (16 GB RAM and has 4 HD with software RAID 1)
            • application server (8 GB RAM and has 2 HD with no RAID)
              so i'm really afraide to touch anything especially how to P2V

              P2V is very safe. It does not destroy the "P" while making the "V", it just makes a copy. So you can do it for testing very safely.

                So no RAID, no backups, no snapshots, no virtualization.... this is crazy.

                  Now that IS scary. Is there a plan for resolving those issues?

                    I know for sure it is very toxic environment and in anytime I may face total down time. But how I can deal with this toxic legacy system that I'm in
                    Note that I may face a licence issue when p2v. Cuz the windows servet is cracked!

                        Best answer might be to let them lose everything and to go out of business.

                              Thank you very much @MattSpeller for your understanding, I'm really struggling with this crazy business. The it infrastructure is very poor

                                  Dear Scott, according to my preexisting setup, is there any chance to virtualize in my situation?

                                    Virtualizing now won't undo the damage that has been done to your existing systems, but it will make recovery easy in the future.

                                      Yes, he is in a terrible situation. The upside of the company failing, though, is that it would release him from his long term obligations there. It is actually in his personal interest for the company to go out of business.

                                        Possible but will be very difficult as you have no spare gear with which to do the conversions and no good equipment to run it on. But I think that it can probably be done with some creative work.
