Well, over the weekend I put the office boxes back on win2k. It was a tough decision, but I had no choice.
Friday afternoon one of the boxes dropped out of the network. Usually a service smb restart sorted everything out but not this time. Never could get it to see the network printer again, although I did sort out the directory shares. Saturday morning the VMWare on another box borked. I couldn't fix it. I realized that I was the only one working on computers anymore and I wasn't having fun at it much. Now its a mdk fileserver, a firewalled router to the net, and a bunch of win2k boxes again. Maybe I'll have time to play with my own toys now. The files are safe, the boxes can die and be resurrected in a couple of hours with a no-brainer procedure, and I'm not bombarded with hourly questions about every little icon on every little desktop. I know, I dropped the banner. Maybe I'll be smarter next year or mdk will be more lenient on a rookie. We'll see. Meanwhile, I'm comfy with my three mdk boxes on my desk and everyone else breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the old familiar desktop. Sad, I know. Lee
