There is a lot of good to use consultants when man resources get lean. You can only do so much and the company won't hire someone to help you. The previous guy probably quit because of the workload and management thought that he wasn't strong enough. :) I have 2 consultants in to assist me in getting Win2003 / SS2005 clustering working properly, as well as getting a lot of network issues cleaned up so my system will act as I scoped it out on paper. I have a fiber line between my host and my office that is still unused in 'bits' since March of this year. My Network admin can't figure out why. The DBA that I brought in specialized in remote security systems for Middle East oil production systems. He has a different approach to what secure is! I am learning a great deal on the little points. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
