I was lucky with the few NT 4 -> W2K upgrades we did; everything came over pretty much as expected, with the usual kinks (drivers, mostly). That said, I'm not a fan of upgrading, unless it's NetWare. Even then, there are some file system changes which can complicate matters. Of course, for Windows users, considering the standard M$ line about "reinstall the operating system" to correct even the most minor errors, a clean install should come as no surprise. Good links, Stan. Thanks for sending them. Wil, good point. Good point, indeed!! :-) -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com eComStation Consultants www.ecomstation.com Novell Users Int'l www.novell.com/openenterpriseserver Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com ------------------------------------------------------------
