Eww, my experience has been the exact opposite. (Actually, in both cases you said something is good that you've never used, and I've used them both and I'm here to say, I don't recommend it.) Setup is not terribly difficult. Ongoing maintenance, backup and restore, are complete nightmares. Additionally, if you take a laptop out of the network, or the server is down for some reason, there's no local caching, can't login or use the disconnected system. This was why I mentioned Centrify and PowerBroker. Because I know they do caching and can be used for laptops that aren't always connected. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
