I agree - take the machine down and do it fast! We built .conf files in advance of "THE DAY" We built New DNS files, and started shortening the TTL of the old. We sent emails to ALL our customers each day for two weeks before with a "please reply" (when they replied, we stoped notifying them, some never did reply). On "THE DAY" we shut of the whole system at 12:30AM (about 400 customers ISP). We turned up each machine one by one, all seven were completed by two. We had one proplem, our WinNT email server didn't work. It is picky and didn't like the bigger network... By six am we still didn't have email, so we backed up the mailboxes and reloaded WinNT, SP5 (we had SP3 before), and the Netscape Messanger Server. It was online by eight AM. Frankly I hate Windows (When? Doze?) and will soon replace this with a FreeBSD mail server as soon as I find one that has a nice "Web-Based" Interface! Good Luck! -- ----------------------------------- Filipino Network Solution - Fil.Net ----------------------------------- ********************************************************* *** I switched to FreeBSD from When?Doze because... *** *** I never knew When? - It was going to Doze! ;) *** ********************************************************* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
