New The forced march to Active Directory . .
. . is still meeting heavy resistance - and if they force too hard, the hold outs may switch, but not to Windows 2003.

If they'd left NT Domains as an option in 2000 server, NT would have gone away a whole lot easier - but Active Directory was a key element of World Domination. Few businesses need Active Directory.

New Right - to rearange your words . .
"AD is the Big Ball of LEAD!!! We were not to believe Cheese."

That few businesses need AD is not Microsoft's problem - their problem is they haven't been able to convince these businesses that they want AD.

The large number of companies that announced complex $30,000 (and up)software tool suites to "help ease the pain of migration to Active Directory", and the many reviews these tools got in the tech press did not help Microsoft's marketing efforts one bit.

New You rock all night long...
Yeah... hell *I* could have offered tools... thems ones you cited are just "*DAP" tools...

Hmmmm, maybe a linux console app... allowing only ONE thing... BWAHAHAHAH... Wow, I could EVEN charge them for the "Proprietary Hardware"... BWAHAHAHA by putting a Folkert-something-or-other-server image in the BIOS!!! HAHAHA!

That's of course the Machine for the "Boss's" office... ;) I'd just throw a $200 cube in the server room... HAHHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA!!!

Why *ONLY* $30K... Mine is BETTER I'd charge $60K... and I could easily put eDIR on that Linux machine to fix AD anyway... ;)

New My review was
[link|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=33203| here].

Yes of course - WTF do I know - but that was the point.. I mean, I Perused this massive tome, saw how damn near every entry needed some addendum.. If using AD THEN ... do the following items 1) thru 23).

Anyway, it was enough to convince me that I wouldn't be emgcy admin for a nearby massive Compaq server cum RAID. When an author writes this:
An alternative approach is to upgrade your member server first, then take a year off and learn in detail how Active Directory works, and finally upgrade your PDC followed by your BDCs. A lot of admins seem to favor this approach!


Wouldn't you think that a reader might blanche, eschew the obfuscation and Switch?
