I believe there's a support and a cost issue you may want to consider as well.
As for functionality, either can do the job. Some of the downsides of QIP that I recall from working with it (years back) was a different critical path for software updates.

LUCENT QIP DNS Those that spring to mind: W2k3 offers scavenging - QIP does not [but then you could argue, it is not needed by design] W2k3 offers secure DDNS - QIP can, but requires Kerberos integration [again, QIP may be designed such that this is moot] QIP is a full IP management solution and not just a DNS product. Both (QIP and w2k3 DNS) have their pros and cons - it really depends upon your requirements and whether you need/want a full IP management solution of just a DNS product. neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Green Sent: 28 April 2005 11:02 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Windows Server 2003 DNS Vs. LUCENT QIP DNS Hi all I was wondering if what (if any) benefits/advantages are over using Microsoft (2003) DNS Vs. QIP in Active Directory?
