G'Day Dan,
It all comes down to time.
I can write one for email transition - servers, MX, exchange, IMAP and some
software we used (Commercial though) called uniaccess and also import
contact lists, etc. However it won't be for a maybe a couple of weeks.
I think Darrell has some good stuff for NETLOGON, I have it in use with two
clients, but nothing fancy, check for a folder on C drive, if there cool, if
not, create, synch PC time to server, etc..
PPTP is a bugger with NT4. A breeze with 98 and 2000.
Anyhow, I can certainly give the mail a crack as I have done that a few
times with no lost email or email connections (MX mirroring)....And of
course existing mail transfer/importing.
Cheers,
Richard.
