Appendix A. Case Studies

Several companies were kind enough to provide us with details of their Windows 2003 migration. Various aspects of their design and migration activities are documented primarily in Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 6 with minor references in other chapters. This appendix provides a brief introduction to the company and the individuals who provided us with the information. This information adds significant value to the book as it provides information to you as to not only what the textbook answer is, but also how someone actually did it. This provides information that will undoubtedly help you make business decisions for your migration, as well as providing enough detail to solve the technical aspect as well.

In the normal course of our work at HP, we encountered many "case study" examples that are described throughout the book. These instances, although valuable , were not classified as "case studies" because a case study implies a more thorough description of the deployment or migration as a whole.

The names of the case study companies are listed alphabetically by company name .
