Migration Summary - Chillin

As much as I love projects, they do make me stress and get critical of myself. I received a couple of messages of support today such as one commenter writing "if the users are happy, servers are migrated, and you accomplished your goals, it sounds like success to me" (post). The chaos I expected today lasted only an hour or two in the morning. The consultant hadn't been able to fix the permissions issue remotely as he thought, so he came in early at my request and finally resolved the matter. Ah, Microsoft and its checkboxes. Half of being certified is knowing where to find the right checkboxes.

Once he found the issue, everything worked as it should. After which there were a couple of minor issues here and there but overall the day went well. The staff took to the new folder and printer schemes quite well. Email was not an issue and everyone was already upgraded to the new antivirus. The new installation of Backup Exec 10.1 and the LTO drive are working great. The login script works as planned, the rewiring looks good, and as a bonus, all the desktops are completely patched. Everyone was back in business today with minimal disruption. So I guess the migration was a pretty big success after all and I desperately need to learn to chill.

Thanks for the support, all!
