I think you need some professional help from Novell. It should only take one NetWare
server to
handle 2500 Groupwise accounts. A friend of mine recently helped migrate Boeing from
NetWare to
NT. (M$ made them an offer they couldn't refuse) They had to replace the NetWare
server that was
handling 2500 Groupwise accounts with sixteen much more powerful NT servers running
exchange to
get an acceptable performance level. Novell has proven systems handlings 200,000+
users. Go to
www.novell.com and look up Connecting Points.
No, I do not work for Novell, I just appreciate their products.
