You can test Your solution with Windows 2003 R2 RC now - it is working with Windows SharePoint Services from R2 server and with .NET application if You make them claim-aware. I don't remember time frame for R2 but it should be available at the end of this year so I think that if You find ADFS suitable for Your needs and You can start working with RC version You will be ready on this date. -- Tomasz Onyszko http://www.w2k.pl List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ: http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/

RE: [ActiveDir] Incorporating external users.......
Brad, We are implementing the same forest/domain structure as you are (ie, separate for external user access) and for the same purpose. We do not have a trust to the internal "core" domain/forest; internal users who need access to the extranet domain must have separate accounts. The other tweak I've done is to have the external user accounts in a separate OU with the business unit doing some of the account provisioning. A major issue, I think, is to ensure lifecycle management of these external user accounts, just as you would internal--otherwise a lot of junk could accumulate rather quickly.
