I don't administrate the Windows side, I look after the Samba bit. However, Windows 2000 Prof workstations are installed using a Ghost mirror image, most non-native Microsoft applications (OpenOffice.org, Thunderbird, Firefox etc.) are run from a centralized server-based installation and, for example, Nitrobit Group Policy client utility is indeed installed automatically by a single administrator login/logout at each workstation. Centralized server-based utilities are easy to update/upgrade when needed. Think of all the Firefox updates during the last months. It's up to each admin to evaluate which method is best for his site. --Tonni -- Nothing sucksseeds like a pigeon without a beak ... mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.billy.demon.nl They'll love us, won't they?
