If your management likes Gartner reports, they suggest that the "must move off 5.5 date" to be 2Q04.
When you think about non-support, you should also factor in that more and more technical folks are moving to E2K. The list of people that can run a 5.5 organization is going to get shorter and they'll have a harder time replacing you when you go work for a company that will upgrade. Just ask the mainframers how hard a time they had finding qualified Cobol programmers during Y2K. -----Original Message----- From: Ray Zorz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 3:15 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? I've already tried the "additional functionality" route, but they're not buying it.
