2001-10-29 Thread rrutherford
Hi, I need our remote admins to perform an upgrade check on some of our remote server. I remember seeing an .exe for this rather than using the \checkupgrade switch the reason being I don't want to send them the Server media as this has caused problems before. Thanks in advance Robert Ruth
