Mr. Cameron just experienced the same disillusionment that I've been
slowly experiencing since the release of Windows 2000 and Active
Directory. If AD were stable, mature, and complete, he'd already have a
solid infrastructure and you wouldn't need to ask him questions like this.
Instead, he has broken wizards, arcane rules for the application of
service packs and patches that constantly change based on what products
are or are not installed, and a network directory that shits inscrutable
garbage all over his event logs (event diarrhea).
You're a real wizard when it come to making AD sing and dance and so is
Laura. However, just because you and a few dozen others on this newsgroup
can make AD happy doesn't mean that the product is a good one.
I've read the books, I've read the documentation, I've read the
newsgroups, I've read the appropriate parts of the MS website, I've talked
to experts, and in the name of Jesus Christ and all that is holy, I have
NEVER EVER not ONCE had a new AD implementation work properly without a
head-banging and kb-searching uphill climb.
Let's cross our fingers and hope that MS puts AD back in the oven before
...NET RTMs, because as it stands AD is a half-baked technology that's held
together by masking tape and bubble-gum.
Feh.
