Hi Evan, Thinking more along these lines, does the scope of your effort assume a total migration from jumpstart to AI? Or does it also address an interim period of having both jumpstart and AI (and, if so, should it address questions such as whether the AI server needs to be different than the jumpstart server and whether there needs to be a separate AI dhcp server than the one used for jumpstart)?
