Next Meeting - August 4, 2010 at 6pm

|
Clyde Johnson presents "Real-world file/print server migration"
Clyde will present an overview and some step-by-step of the entire process (at a large company).
On a Sunday afternoon, he migrated his file and print server
from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2. He came in at 6am on Monday morning to resolve any issues. Two weeks later, none of the users have
reported any issues (they don't even know a migration has occurred). And, by the way, it's now completely virtualized on VMware ESX and a Netapp
storage area network (SAN).
