Thanx, why not upgrade?-- right now my boss doesnt want to buy licenses for
the 2 nt servers(that would be costly for us) I would also like to have a
more logical domain name. This company changed names a few years ago and
the current domain name is not desired for the new domain. I just thought
since it is so small, why not just build a new one from scratch, with a
litlle help from ADMT maybe for importing accounts. However I may have
made some bad assumptions so please correct me where appropriate
