And stay with you here tonight....

So my friends we?ll say goodnight for time has claimed it?s prize
But tonight will always last
As long as we keep alive memories of paradise... (or NTS 4.0)


How times and priorities have changed...

Oh....only for about the last 20 months. It should have been done ages ago but due to politics and management caution it kept getting delayed.

That's our main site....there are also several WAN sites......we will be upgrading their servers to Win2k DC's over the next two weeks after then main upgrade is done. After that we can go native mode.

That would fall under the category of management caution.....we've deployed a few 2k3 servers but they don't want to move the infrastructure servers to 2k3 until it's been out at least a year.

Client I worked at until last summer did that last year. They were using Enterprise Admin (EA) and went to DRA with the new W2K domain. Some guys from Compaq were in for a bit to help with OU design and group policies.

Went pretty smoothly.

Damn man....good luck! You're gonna be up late

But Ameesh is right, AD is def gonna make your life soo much easier!

wish we'd upgrade at work. every employee has a workstation that consists of a 21" LCD monitor, 2.4 ghz P4 pcs with 512mb of ram, nice matrox vidcard, and his/her own HP 4200 laser printer that spits out 35 ppm. and what OS do these setups have? NT 4.0

 

[compudog]

So take your seats
and don't be late.
We need your spirts high.
To turn on these theater lights,
and brighten the darkest skies.
Here at the...... Paradise........

what kind of company do you work at and how many employees are there? it's hardly cost effective to have a printer like that for every workstation
