Eric/Joe, Thanks for the great input! My test lab is VM ware running on 20 GB.... TB SAN that you can use as a test = very nice setup.
100 GB did those sites have really good connectivity? You can install AD from media in 2003 but I would think there would be problems in a 2000 domain with poorly connected offices. Joe, do you run joeware.net... if you do great site and thanks for the nice tools.
