Automate and standardize
Before the upgrade, take the opportunity to automate and standardize.
- Relocate client code on the desktop. If data is in a non-standard location, consider moving it to the recommended location for multi-user installs. For users who frequently change machines, consider a roaming user deployment.
- Set or reset mail quotas.
- Update configuration settings.
- Enforce consistency using policies. For example, use consistent install choices, bookmarks, preferences, certification schemes, hierarchies, etc.
- Improve load balancing of users across your environment.
