Quick Q - when you realised the problems, were you able to plan to
REVERT the systems back ?

not sure I would agree - it seems that going from 5.1 to 6.5 or
even 6.5.1 should be the easier upgrade path.
maybe careful planning is the key?
Honestly, I don't know how much more we could have planned/prepared. We
went through the upgrade document at Symantec with a fine tooth comb;
not one step was done flippantly, out of order or skipped. We ran the
NBCC right before we started and had Symantec look at the output and
address any inconsistencies, even got the go ahead from them that "Your
upgrade can now proceed".
The problem was just about every step listed in that doc produced
unexpected results; either the box would just sit there doing nothing,
or it would come back with some error that was not addressed in the
upgrade guide and had to be sent to Symantec.
I will think twice about ever reccomending an in place upgrade again.
