I guess the long and short of it is that if you can create a good enough
set of scripts you can have someone pay you to come implement them..


OH WAIT, that's what I do!

Yeah with me on the first engagement when I was being "trained" (I mean
common it's a vb script). Anyway the guy was there two weeks. Don't get
me wrong he was sharp and all but even then it was a lab setup only.

I went to another client with the same package and had the lab setup for
them with the ADSI mods and all in two days then another day to
document. Now don't get me wrong the larger and more complex the setup
the more time you take for customizing and documenting, but damn...

Ha ha. I'm sure you're right actually. I think I was told once that CCS
always sends 2 guys and it's $300 an hour EACH. I guess you would want
to
get as much of that as you could. $600 an hour for 2 weeks is
$48,000.=3D20
