Hi Scott,

Totally agree with you, and i will go on with this strategy, but here comes
the last question if i was ordered to use a method rather than tagging,
lets say AD or route filtering, would i have to go back and remove all the
tagging that i've done, or can i peacefully keep it.

BR,
Mohammed Mahmoud.
