Doesn’t seem to like the forums though 🙂 However, the mobile template seems to work (kind of) iChain may have been clunky, but it did work really well… ## – ashmoore ashmoore’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=8630](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=8630) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=451331](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=451331) ---

So it was do this or wait until the hardware croaked and then panic. I’ll take the pre-emptive action before the hardware croaks. 🙂 ## Jim Jim Henderson, CNA6, CDE, CNI, LPIC-1, CLA10, CLP10 Novell Knowledge Partner ---

I know - we are in the same boat 🙂 Although we are down to the last one or two sites on iChain. Its good to see Novell finally making the leap although it would have been a better commercial if it had been smoother 🙂 We were lucky, we combined the main switchover with a migration to a new domain and web site. Even so ours went pretty darned well (he says with more than a little pride) ## – -----x==—x===----- I used to be an eagle… ashmoore’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=8630](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=8630) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=451331](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=451331) ---

For one thing, there is sometimes (I don’t know if it’s the case here) the use of the company’s implementation as a testbed for technologies. I remember talking to Microsoft IS&T personnel back when 2K3 server was in beta, and they had several servers they had upgraded through every single release between Server 2000 and Server 2K3 RC-whatever-was-current-at-the- time-I-talked-with-them. That’s not something any customer would do. But ISTR at the time they had been through 10 intermediate in-place upgrades at that point, or something like that. But that may or may not be something that was done with this implementation - I have no idea.
