Vincent-
I have no idea what Pointsec is or does, perhaps you could share a little bit about this. What are the characteristics of the domain controllers in your test forest? How much memory? Disk config? How big is the DIT? Thanks, Brian Desmond [EMAIL PROTECTED] c - 312.731.3132 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of De Potter Vincent Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 11:20 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Pointsec software vs. Active Directory Hi, My organisation is looking into testing and implementing Pointsec software for encryption purposes for our client environment. I'm responsable for the DIrectory service and they've asked me to participate. I've set -up a development forest and let the Pointsec team loose on that one. I activated some perfmon counters to see the impact on one DC. Regarding LDAP queries it was quite ok (only 1 reference to an expensive one) but I saw some implication on the physical disks of the machine that were hit quite heavily. Also a collegue of mine could remember from his previous company that the roll out of that soft brought some issues along. Does anyone of you have experience with the implementation of Pointsec and the impact on the directory service (especially the boxes) in a large environment? _____________________________ Vincent De Potter Volvo Information Technology
