Cool, so you are basically saying, leave it as is for now, and if I decide to do anything with it wait until I am deploying the new servers to make the changes.
For any of the upgrades I have done in the past, I build and test the new server in Atlanta, then ship it to the site and meet it there to do the actually data/services migration. I am planning on doing the same rolling upgrades here. First with new Windows 2003 DC/File Servers, then with the Exchange servers. ----------------------- Miles Holt Network Engineer Summit Marketing [EMAIL PROTECTED] 770-303-0426 ----------------------- "Show me a completely smooth operation and I'll show you someone who's covering mistakes.
