John: There is a 'nix perl script for that. I'll poke around. It used the backoffice scan of the domain boxes and created a set of settings as you described for an over-the-net install. I can't remember the name, but a I came across it looking for tools to help us migrate from Novel to Win2K when I was at DSM. I never used it, but it claimed it could do the job. I think was for Redhat though. ===== Warmest Regards, Doug Riddle http://www.dougriddle.com http://fossile-project.sourceforge.net/ http://www.libranet.com -- "Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the Peoples' Liberty Teeth." - George Washington -- __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
