We are setting up some servers for a remote
office. The servers include another Win 2003 domain controller (this will
be the 4th DC for that domain) and 2003 exchange box (3rd Exchange box) and a
couple others (file server, phone server, etc). This office should be
ready to accept the

We have a lot of computers that have (apparently)

Desktop Standard has one. You might

We have some of our users that need the eFax viewer
installed. To install it requires admin privs, which (of course) none of
our users have. Enough users need it that it's justified installing it by
