RE: [ActiveDir] Justications to Migrate to Active Directory

[Craig Cerino]

Cliff –   From a ROI and support point of view – I would be sure to mention that after 12/31/03 MS will no longer provide support for NT4.0 and push them along with the suggestion that it would be better to have 2K up and running well for a while (in a mixed mode environment) before the cut your strings (as far as support goes).   Just a suggestion.   There are many other reasons besides AD (which is a good enough reason) More stable, quicker, etc etc       -----Original Message----- From: Clifford Airhart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 15, 2003 11:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Justications to Migrate to Active Directory     I am currently compiling information and trying to find good justifications to migrate our Windows NT base network to Active Directory. We are a medium size company. We don't have any direct requirements to implement AD, like we must upgrade to Exchange2000(which requires AD). I can see a few benefits, but my management wants to see quantified justifications. For example, by migrating to AD you can save 1 hour in setting up a new user with RIS.   Does anyone know I good website that would show time saved or something more concrete and specific than Microsoft's marketing jargon?   Has anyone gone through a similar experience with their company?   I would appreciate your insights and advice!!!  Thanks!!!     Cliff Airhart Answer Financial Inc.
