The last thing you want to hear, when or if you need it, is "Dude, you are so not supported".
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chuck Bryant Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 12:23 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: OT Upgrade question If its "not broke" you don't need support so who cares if support is available? Eventually the "increased functionality" may be of value to the higher ups, after one of them hears about some great thing from a buddy on the golf course, etc. Address it then. Meanwhile, show them how much money you've saved them by not upgrading and ask for a portion of those savings as a bonus. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ray Zorz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 12:15 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: RE: OT Upgrade question > > > The only reason you have to upgrade is the fact that NT4 & > E5.5 are closer > to becoming non-supported. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mike Omilian > Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 12:12 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > Subject: OT Upgrade question > > > We're a smaller > company( > <40 users) and we currently run NT 4.0 and Exchange 5.5. > Both run great and > have been very stable (knock on wood). > > My question is how do you approach upper management asking to > upgrade to > Windows and Exchange 2000 when they have the "if it ain't > broke, don't fix > it" mentality?
