He is really busy on a contract at the moment. It should be wrapping up shortly though and after his shellshock wears off he will probably bound back into action with his perverse british humour. It has been a joy for me watching him work on that contract as it is big business trials and tribulations at its finest and it is good for all techies to occasionally experience that. I say you haven't lived until you have jumped through the hoops put in front of you in a Fortune 25 or bigger environment. I have other friends that say the same about government or military IT work. :o)

Basically the end result is the same, just don't agree with the phrasing much. The best descriptions I have seen have been by Dean Wells. If you search the newsgroups and adorg archives for Dean and Infrastructure Master and Phantoms you will find some pretty in depth discussions. He even describes how to see the update objects using adfind. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 14, 2005 11:31 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Reducing number of Global Catalogs I don't think Joe is disagreeing with THAT point.

If all DCs are GCs, putting the IM role on a GC isn't a problem. Thank You, Anthony Scott Berbee 4690 E. Fulton Dr., Bldg.
