Patrick:
Funny you should mention Windiff. After reading the responses today
I was going to use Windiff to compare the directory printouts produced on
both machines and see if there's a difference in the output.
But thinking about it, Windiff has the ability to directly compare
directories. If I point it at the top "parent" on each machine I should be
able to see differences right away.
I guess then the final test would be comparing the MD5's on each
directory to ensure file integrity.
Any good MD5 utilities for Windows that will handle large file sets?
I downloaded two today but one is a file-by file MD5 and the other doesn't
recurse down the directory tree...it only does the current directory.

Rich, one word: windiff. It's in the NT resource kit, and I think it's in
the small version of the kit downloadable at the URL below. --Patrick
