After many years of working with M$ I am now home! I was devastated
when my former Agency decommissioned all Novell products several years
ago. My life was never the same!
I am now supporting SLES 12 and eDir for a very large company. A bit
rusty however it all comes back with ease. Thank you to the KPs in the
forums!!
This was a dream come true!
Just thought you would like to know there is life after M$ and good
things can happen!

Congratulations! That would be my dream too, if I wasn’t so close to
retirement age. My organization migrated file, print & email to M$ about
ten years ago. I get to use eDirectory to administer our IDM
environment, but that’s it. I still miss GroupWise, and I curse every
time I have to deal with Windows file permissions.

I’ve retired. I can only dream. Congratulations.

That’s great news! However, you realize the above constitutes two
different companies now. LOL! Welcome home.

Congratulations, bro. I, too, have reached the practical life stage and hope to land my ideal career and prosper.
