Sounds almost identical to my situation. New Dell servers arrived in
December/January, but my emphasis has remained on maintaining existing in
order to make certain I get the W2k3 right (rather than migrate and them go
back for a rebuild).
Issues encountered thus far include:
- W2k3 SP1 could not connect to "https:" WI sites so had to REBUILD all W2k3
terminal servers without SP1 (very painful)
- Have enjoyed some advancement in CPS4 over MPS3; however, we continue to
note the release of new software impacting the transition to production (e.g.:
Microsoft & Citrix patch releases & testing, Neoware client firmware upgrades,
and new printer & driver)
- No real association between W2k3 & NT4 (except for Trust relationship)
presents challenge in incremental migration of users (e.g.: DFS share
permissions).
Good luck,

Subject: [THIN] MPS3 or MPS4
All,
About a yr ago, we started the process of building a new farm here. I got
new servers, new versions of applications, new version of the OS (w2k3 vs
w2k). What should have taken a few months is up to 10 months. A huge
chunk of the slowdown is that this new setup is not a high priority for us, as
compared to maintaining the 911 system, PD/Fire dispatch, etc. Well, we are
almost done. The new platform is W2K3 (no SP1) and MPS3 with the 2005.4
service pack. My question is: should we bite the bullet and click the check
box to turn my MPS3 farm into an MPS4 farm? We use TScale and Simplified
Printing so I don't expect to use those feature of MPS4. As for licensing, I
have SA so we are covered there too.
