RE: [ActiveDir] AD Consultants

[Grillenmeier, Guido]

that was actually pretty convincing Joe. And I have to say, I pretty much agree with you. It's probably my own position that doesn't allow me to speak up the same way. May be a personal thing too.   And I do like Canon digital cameras ;-) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Samstag, 10.

I am a data sharing type of person except for stuff that I am NDA'ed on which I stay tight lipped on or stuff I work out for joeware that I don't want companies picking source code up for and then turning around to try and sell. Also the one piece of source code I released widely (published in a magazine) to the general public came back to burn me when people took it, modified it, and distributed it and later came back to me when things broke or didn't work right. I will now share coding concepts or sometimes even code snippets, but not full code.   I definitely think vendors/companies that do a good job should be pushed and told about on this and other forums just like people should talk about companies that they have issues with. That way when people are out trying to figure out who to use, they can see other opinions of those that have used them. Both so certain troublesome companies can be evaded and so companies that are doing a good job can be rewarded. Hopefully that pushes the vendors to try harder knowing that a group of folks knowledgeable in the field are saying good or bad things about them. We shouldn't, for instance, all have to try to figure out individually that EMC has integrated the Celerra into Windows in a very poor way and can't seem to make their dates for promised updates. On the flip side people should know that I previously beat on MTEC to get things fixed in Psynch because they were wrong and they went back and fixed them and continue to fix anything we find that isn't right. The former needs to be punished until they correct and the later should be rewarded. Unless people openly talk about this stuff no one knows.   I had a conversation with someone I highly respect this last week about laptops. He was going on about the several IBM laptops he had and used based on the specific requirement at the time and until that point, I wouldn't have considered an IBM product (any IBM product) to save my life, but especially hardware as we have had no end of issues with their server line and the product support behind it. I am now actually looking at buying an IBM laptop because of his recommendation (still wouldn't take a server even if it were free if I had any choice in the matter). Had he not made that recommendation to me I would have gone on never even considering using IBM.   I do, however, understand your position and that some things can't be said (and others have to be said) due to constraints, either personal or professional.   ------------- http://www.joeware.net   (download joeware) http://www.cafeshops.com/joewarenet  (wear joeware)       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grillenmeier, Guido Sent: Saturday, April 10, 2004 5:02 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Consultants I did for some time, however I would recommend other individuals of similar quality in the area simply to reduce travel expenses - inner-company knowlege sharing and collaboration can go a long way to close the loop. However, I don't think this is the forum to discuss these details.  I am just as fond as you are of Dean's capabilities and only wanted to mention that there are other choices.  My thought for recommendations for specific names or companies would be to do so offline to those who requested it (as even Mike suggested himself). I don't think it's appropriate to do so in this list. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Sent: Samstag, 10.

If not, my only recommendation is still MSETechnology.   I am more willing to recommend specific individuals over companies because companies as a whole aren't good, it is specific people in them. Usually there are only a couple of good people in a company. The smaller the company, the more chance those few people have a stronger voice in how the company operates and maintains overall quality.   ------------- http://www.joeware.net   (download joeware) http://www.cafeshops.com/joewarenet  (wear joeware)       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grillenmeier, Guido Sent: Friday, April 09, 2004 1:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD Consultants just want to mention, that other companies to AD consulting as well ;-) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Myrick, Todd (NIH/CIT) Sent: Dienstag, 6.
