Thanks for your replies. That might be a necessity as I
keep hearing of many new additions and improvements being
implemented in 2003. Unfortunately the school is really
strapped for funds - heck, I'm donating my services for
free on this LAN.

What can I do for the time we're stuck with W2K Server,
sp4? Would I have to buy and install Exchange Server or a
certificate server?

Thanks again.
