I see the thing with the upgrade from NT
Clustering is a blast
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...g/default.mspx

did you jump straight to 2003 or just to 2000
were the client machines already upgraded?
how many users, servers, clients.
did you do scripts to make AD easier to handle?
sorry so many ?'s
I do computers for a living
haha... i'm sorry, but Clustering is neat, but not a blast... at least not right now...

we went straight from NT to 2000. my boss wasn't prepared for 2k3 and according to the consultant we've used every now and then, it would have been a bit more of a pain in the arse to go to 2k3. basically we took the client machines and removed them from the NT network and put them on a workgroup. then upgraded the PDC, which failed. Once the PDC was up with 2k, we setup the clients with the new IP (no we didn't use DHCP, don't ask) and with DNS and registered them on the new domain. Problem with the cluster was that some of the resources in the cluster groups were somehow still linked to the NT network. Hopefully we'll be able to finally get the clustering working tomorrow. So yeah, long story, a lot of headaches, approx 30 clients, 7 servers (including the 2 rack mounted ones used for the cluster), and a lot of bitchy people... crazy couple weeks

I started in full scale production shows when i was 10 years old. Went to performing arts schools in Jr. & High School. Did some small independent films, voice overs, and assloads of theater. I'm getting headshots done soon, and I'm looking for a talent agent to get me a few smalltime gigs for a little sidework for some fun.

Mantis, Happy "B" Day.
I will see my friend this afternoon and I may have a name and number for you for the actor thing.

Also, you know you look more than only 2 days younger than me. I was born on the 21st. I've had a hard life.

Looks like we may have rain for the meet. They are saying the north side may not get much.

Hey Mike, Zeal is supposedly sending out the strut on Monday. So I should get it some time next week. Will you be available at all for the swap and adjustments? I'm headed to Houston on Saturday for the superbowl... my plan is I hope to get it in by Friday, then I'll slap it on before heading out Saturday.

Let me know if this would fit your schedule.

hmm, that's not a bad idea. But probably won't have a good turn out on such short notice.

Casper,
I forgot what bulb you said goes in the front turn signal on a 4th gen Max. Headlights are 9004 and fog lights are H3 right?

http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...t=346&last=346

and a couple 9004s
http://www.optauto.com/webstore/prod...t=349&last=349

The front turn signal is an 1156 (single filament)

out of those bulbs, get the ones that match the wattage of the original stock setup the best. nissan wiring harnesses tend to melt with higher wattage bulbs. i'll be replacing one of my headlight harnesses again soon.

foglights are H3 and the 9004 are the headlights, you are correct.
all the H3 bulbs that have 55W=xxxW will be ok because they pull the same wattage as stock but emitt brighter than stock. all the 9004's should work fine. if for some reason the harness melts, courtesy sells the headlight ones for $20 a piece and they're pretty easy to replace.
