I didn't understand that from your original post, sorry.

Feel free to complain - but you should complain to the right people. That is,

We have new server har
BESX won't be out until March.
Right now, BPS is the product filling that niche.

Jeff Middleton's SBSMigration.com is a great resource.
I used it years ago. Since then, I've been hardheaded enough to do it on my
own, but I don't generally recommend it.

Sounds like a typical DNS issue.
I've found storage server slow while it's being used for backups, which isn't a
surprise, but in general it's as "speedy" as an 2003 box.
