Hi Joe,
thanks for the reply
see my posting to Herb, i think i was confused on "when" to use ADMT
i think i need to run in mixed mode because of an exchange 5.5 server that's
not ready to go to w3k. i just want to introduce the new w3k servers and
start pointing the office users to it for ISA/SUS/anti-virus/print/file
services etc. then install a new E3k server and then say goodby to nt4.

Peter
