Our standard way of developing roadmaps is to come up with our "dream" environment, analyze its costs/benefits, see if it meets our requirements, settle of the final solution, and then develop a plan for getting there. The "getting there" part may require multiple transitions...sort of like mutating into the final solution with several stops along the way. I am in the first phase. If you were walking into a new company that had no computers, but a standard list of apps, what would your dream Metaframe environment look like? Here are some guidelines: Windows 2003 Active Directory will be in use Beside using internally, clients will need access from home Must be secure (ie..128bit encryption, etc) PC's and thinclient devices are to be used Stability is key Can use 3rd party utilities such as Tscale and Simplify Printing. Antivirus is a must This is a local government - we run all sorts of stuff. The more we can have on Metaframe, the better. adam ******************************************************** This weeks sponsor Emergent Online.
