Deji, You've got that over a lot of MVPs. I've been waiting two years to meet Joe face to face - and the one function that I can't go to, he goes. Can he go to Summit? No.... Can he go to Win2k3 Server Launch? No....
I'm beginning to get a complex. Well, OK - I've been in therapy for years for that, but, well... Damn. Nevermind. ;P Rick Kingslan MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of deji Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 10:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Welcome, Joe. I am one of the biggest joeware leaches. On top of that, I get to brag that I know you personally :) D�j� Ak�m�l�f�, MCSE MCSA MCP+I www.akomolafe.com www.iyaburo.com Do you now realize that Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday? -anon -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 4:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] [OT] Installing Windows 2003 servers to Windows 2 000 Domain Perl rocks and thanks Robbie. :o) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robbie Allen Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 5:06 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] [OT] Installing Windows 2003 servers to Windows 2 000 Domain Yeah, I like those joeware tools too :-) He even does Perl!

So many things lacking that need to be done... so little time, especially when it is for free. ;oP~ I really have some serious updates coming for ADFIND or at least I want them to be coming, I want to restructure and go to V2 and add Security Descriptor stuff and decoding of more values like useraccountcontrols, et al and also allowing reencoding of nice names into blobs for searching if possible. However I expect that I will be gearing a little towards E2K right now as that is what my paying job is throwing me into now. Note that if you hadn't heard joeware has been getting shut down at the end of the month or so every month lately so I moved it to a new provider so that shouldn't happen for a bit now. Man I got some serious flames when that would happen too, made me laugh pretty hard. I also finally killed the midi's that everyone bitched about. I started seeing how much bandwidth those little things were taking up and decided I didn't like them that much either. <eg> Anyway, thanks for the welcome. Hopefully I can contribute my share. :o) joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Free, Bob Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2003 12:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] [OT] Installing Windows 2003 servers to Windows 2000 Domain glad you are here, joeware rocks! Don't think I have ever taken the time to thank you for the tools you make available, not because I'm not appreciative, just fundamentally lazy. So, thanks for all past joeware and looking forward to more :-] _____ From: Joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 7:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Everyone kept saying, join activedir join activedir, so I stumbled in fashionably late and three sheets to the wind... The only way to make an entrance. ;o) So where were we, I believe we were discussing slapping MIT Kerberos and OpenLDAP on a Linux box and calling it OverActive Directory? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 10:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Installing Windows 2003 servers to Windows 2000 Domain Mr. Richards..... welcome to the party. ;-) Rick Kingslan MCSE, MCSA, MCT Microsoft MVP - Active Directory Associate Expert Expert Zone - www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 8:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I agree with Rick completely. I work for a very large organization and policy is policy. Not only will we not let you put them into our Active Directory, I have a script that will find them and throw the machine objects into an Enterprise Admin Access only OU and disable and smack the ACL of the offending object if you someone sneak one in. So not only do they not get to use the server anymore, they can't even use that server name again. We catch more than a couple of occurrances of this and we take away their ability to add anything and let their managers know that we did it and why. While I understand why people want to put them in (I in fact want to as well), we want a centralized controlled IT structure and the best way to maintain or reduce costs is to have a handle on what is in production. We do not have an official company load for W2K3 yet with all of the certified drivers and antivirus software so we don't want anyone deploying anything on it because anything they deploy we know will have to be revisited and is a possible breeding ground of viri, worm's, and support issues with no escalation paths. Tough love I guess. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 7:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Installing Windows 2003 servers to Windows 2000 Domain Justifying it technically is going to be a problem, as there are no real 'downfalls'. However - if they don't want them - stick to your guns. Policy says NO. If there are any questions, refer to latter statement.

Sent: Wednesday, June 11, 2003 2:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Has anyone come across any problems with installing the new windows 2003 servers to the Windows 2000 site. Running W2K with SP3 and Exchange 2000 all in native modes. Our company is having a storm of interns coming in and wanting to run projects on a W2k3 server. Other than it is against company policy not to allow users to install servers, or even there own systems. Management is trying to come up with some negatives to this, other than just saying it is against company policy.
