Steve, it would be a very boring mailing list if only the people who know
everything (Paul, apparently) posted to it.

I'm expecting that bulk admin tools for windows systems will mature greatly
over the next year or so.  Hopefully MS will continue to work on the path
they have set rather than reinventing the wheel and making all current
system and network administration policies and tools obsolete.
