Oh ya, not touching 600 client pc's IS a major plus for the ADC way. :) I was just making sure I understood this correctly. I'm looking at moving to E2k in the near future, and I'm " in training" right now trying to get mentally ready. And now that you mention it, all those rules and stuff will be nuked with Exmerge if I remember reading that correctly. Not a good way after all. Thanks! Ron
