Al, I apologize, as I am going only on what little information I have. I guess I was trying to do some pre-meeting recon work since I had seen it metioned here about 25mil internet users for some people. I had assumed there might be some scenario documentation for such a thing. I will know more after the meeting of course, so I'll see if I can explain myself better. I understand directory design for an enterprise, but have never done so for a internet instance that would have self registration. I suspect there are some different lessons learned from that scenario so was curious. Thanks, Jef
