Seriously. IT professional, contracted to do a relocation for a large corporation... 2 days for system relocation and upgrade. Do you put such an entity on your resume?

If it's a significant amount of your overall experience yes. Like, say, that was your only other job apart from a part time thing at a school.

If you feel the need to attach a date to it, use just the month and year.
Use it especially if it relates directly to the job applied for.

I would. It shows that you were a part of a major relocation and upgrade. It would be good for conversation and it would help show you can get the job done and you aren't a slouch. Experience is experience. Lots of very skilled people only do a few days to a few month contracts.
