"Rots of ruck!"<g>  The best thing that could be done with Exchange
Server is "burned at the stake!"  The #1 problem with NT is memory
management....it doesn't recover memory very well nor manage it.  The
less RAM a system has, the more often it crashes, or at least that's
been my experience and that of others I know.  What SuSE's Linux can do
in 64MB compared to NT is simply amazing!!  The best thing your new "NT
specialist" can do, is to learn Linux.<g>
