I’m getting ready, in the next week or so, to upgrade all of the pc’s in my network to W2K. The problem that I have ran into so far, with the boxes that I have already upgraded, is that if the upgrade hangs, all of my environments are lost. In an ideal world where everything worked as advertised, that wouldn’t be an issue. But nothing ever works that well for me. What I would like to know, if anyone has any ideas on the subject, is how I can maintain a users desktop, all icons, and program files when I upgrade. Even if the system crashes during the install. I don’t run any type of profiles at this time. All user profiles are maintained on their local machine. I know, I know, that’s not a good idea, but my users are software engineers and they are like that. Whether or not I like it, they are just smart enough to cause MANY headaches, but also provide job security(?).
Any help or suggestions will be GREATLY received and appreciated. I just don’t want to haveto spend a lot of time re-installing programs, should the upgrades go bad. Thanks in advance everyone that responds. Roger, r.growcock@kadasystems.com
