Bump

So is anyone updating all of their proiduction clients from the 2000 client
as well or are you doing them all manually? The new native drivers seem to be
much quicker. I would really like your thoughts on how best to push it out.
Should I try another group maybe a Windows group that you recommend?
Thanks

Mike,

I am not responsible for doing this (so no useful tips from me), but we use
SMS to deploy things like this automatically.

FWIW,
