I thought so. It sounds like this company only spoke to your professional services group.

The Exchange migration tool however is now sold as a service. We recently changed this to help organizations expedite their Exchange migrations. As you all know Exchange migrations can be complex, challenging, and extremely visible projects. As such we have seen companies get themselves into trouble due to lack of preparedness, knowledge, or time. This is a new bundle and we feel it will lessen the time, stress, and challenges of moving to Exchange 2000/2003. Regards, Chip DiBias -----Original Message----- From: Chianese, David P. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 14, 2003 8:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Migration Tool NETIQ is a bomb IMO. It might as well be vaporware. We did better, and are currently doing better with a homespun vbscript, exmerge and another homespun profile update vbscript. Netiq looked good on paper but when it came down to the migration they left a lot to be desired. One of my biggest peeves about them is that we required a bunch of scripts outside of the netiq product itself and when they originally came in to demo it they told us the scripts would be made available to us. We have to date not received one script from them in helping our migration. In fact, they wanted to charge us for time to write the scripts we needed. We said no thanks and went on with our migration. Just a word of caution for you. Now with that said, our migration was a very complex one to say the least. We did inter-org with 5 different e-mail systems being collapsed to one new E2k org. including our nemesis, the dreaded World Talk switch. Buyer beware!
