Hi Toy There's another area which you didn't mention that could affect a company's move to NT from NetWare - the desire for a semi-permanent or contracting IS staff to learn a new environment. I've come across people that believe that NT will grow in the future - to what extent they don't know - and want to hitch their star to that wagon as well. A lot of times people who are certified as CNE or MCNE will decide to add Microsoft's qualification to their list and start introducing NT servers for no particularly good reason. They get the training, their employer pays, then they go and start looking for work with their new resume in an NT market where there are far fewer qualified network admins (hoping for and getting higher salaries). Result for the company - they get the 'joy' of a new server type being introduced, they get to pay for their technician's training, the newly trained technician leaves the company and has to be replaced (with someone who knows NetWare and NT, therefore perpetuating the cycle) - and they have to live with the so-called solution that was introduced in the first place. Yep, these people really do think things through. Peter
