it would certainly be a good way to promote the sales for client inventory tools ;-)

How would people feel about a BlackComb Super Forest Functional Mode where not only are DCs impacted but every machine touching the DCs are affected. I.E. MS allows multiple domains on a single DC but not for any pre-BlackComb clients. I.E. Complete break with legacy capability? Personally I wouldn't mind seeing something like that but how do others feel about it. Once in this mode, no going back. Legacy clients pre-Blackcomb have no clue how to use the domains, etc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al Mulnick Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 10:10 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory wish list While I generally agree this would be great, I have to ask about eDir and it's authentication abilities. IIRC, multiple domains via LDAP only work just fine. It's called ADAM in its latest incarnation. But for the authentication[1] and other apps that support/work with AD to provide identity services (Kerb, DNS, GPOs, etc) might not be a good fit for a multi-instance/single-server deployment. LDAP sure. The other apps, I'm not so sure. I'm curious, Charlie and Neil. What services do these SMB's offer that they need multiple instances of DC's? I realize that a best practice is to have multiple servers that can provide some failure tolerant behaviors, but I'm wondering what type of work a SMB does that requires multiple full blown AD domain instances and therefore multiple servers etc. Can you expand that? [1] LDAP is not an authentication protocol; Kerberos is though. -ajm CCBW >From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org >To: <ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org> >Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory wish list >Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2005 08:52:25 +0100 > >Maybe you should read about eDIR/NDS... :) Novell did this back in '93. > > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Crowley >[MVP] >Sent: 06 October 2005 01:51 >To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org >Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory wish list > >I'd be surprised if we see this in my lifetime, or at least before I >retire. > >Ed Crowley MCSE+Internet MVP >Freelance E-Mail Philosopher >Protecting the world from PSTs and Bricked Backups!T > >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie Kaiser >Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2005 2:34 PM >To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org >Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Active Directory wish list > >What I want is to be able to run multiple domains on one OS >installation and segment the directories from each other.
