Hi All,
We have just started on a big rollout which involves a few thousand macines.
The old servers are 2000 with win2000 clients. Then new infrastructure is
2003 and XP.
Within the last few days a new directive has reached us where we need to
re-use as much old equipment as possible in order to achive cost savings.
Basically, the Legacy equipment need to meet a certain criteria before they
are allowed on the new system, they need to be under 2 year old, most of the
legacy kit to be retained are either printers, scanners, plotters and, in
some cases erganomic keyboard and mice.
What i would like to know is given the current build which has restrictions
etc, is there a way of finding out if the old legacy kit could be introduced
to the new infrastructure without installing any drivers?
Any information on the above would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards.
