I waited until Win2k was out for about a year and then began upgrading my
servers from NT4. I've got 3 NT4 servers left and I can't wait to get to
them. Win2k is faster, more stable, and easier to administrate.
As for clients, new machines and rebuilds are done as Win2k. Older
(existing) clients are left as NT4 unless they must run Win2k.
As for XP, unless they change the licensing I won't be upgrading. NT Admin
is work enough without having to tell MS every time I re-install an OS.

Clients, Yes wait for XP.
Servers not really there will be a ton more tools for Ad management but
not enough to wait for what you gain.

I expecting there are a lot of opinions out there. Please, if you
haven't experienced the migration from NT Server to Windows 2000 Server,
please don't respond. What I am looking for is the advice of the guys
and gals who've done the do, so to speak. I don't mean to sound like a
jerk, please forgive me.
Having said that, my question is simple: I haven't migrated my NT
domain to Windows 2000 and Active Directory. I am totally jazzed on
Windows 2000, by comparison, so am ready to migrate. Is there any
reason to wait for .NET server or Windows XP Server, or
what-the-heck-ever it is called?
You folks that have made the migration, what is your take? Should I go
ahead with my migration, then do the next version when it stabilizes in
the market?
You guys are in the trenches, and I hope will tell what the trade rags
won't. Or maybe there isn't anything to tell? Thanks!
