RE: [ActiveDir] Bind or Microsoft DNS

One advantage to using integrated 2003 DNS is that you can take advantage of secure updates.  That's not something you'll be able to do with Bind last I checked.  Also, while it's possible to use Bind as the name resolver, if you get stuck or can't figure it out, your support options will be "muddied" since both vendors have limited scope on the issue.   I'd use the 2003 integrated DNS for the Wintel environment.  Much less headaches, easier upgrades, etc.   With my $0.02 (USD) you should be up to about .06 now :) -----Original Message----- From: Juan Ibarra [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 3:14 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Bind or Microsoft DNS OK.

Just to save you a few headaches.   On the other hand, I have never heard of Win2k 2003, so I am talking out my ass here.   Thank you, Mitchell D.

Any pros and cons? Thanks, Juan
