Uh Clem's Admin World

 So early Sunday morning I upgraded both of my clustered mail servers from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3.  They run on SUSE Linux (which rocks by the way).  I must tell you I have gotten spoiled over the years with Domino upgrades.  Each server took about 10 minutes to upgrade, and the upgrades went perfectly.

I have such confidence in these upgrades these days that I was able to enjoy the rest of my Sunday, only needing to check in once or twice.

Now, for complete disclosure,  I must tell you that I have encountered 2 issues today.   First, a few users complained that their unread marks on their Blackberries came back.  Second,  a user noticed a display problem of the "From" address in DWA which has already been identified and a DWA hotfix is in the works.

So, maybe not so perfect, but pretty darn close.  These issues are minor in the greater scheme of things.  My colleagues don't have so much luck on other systems.

And if you say "well it's just a point release",  7.0.3 fixes 1440 issues!   Let's see.....1440 fixed issues.....compared to 2 extremely minor new issues......I'd say I'm a bit ahead.

Also, you may "ask why not 8.x?".   Well I've been waiting for 8.0.1 to come out.  I will start that upgrade very soon.  And I am looking forward to it.
