My employer uses Notes. I happen to think it sucks. Notes is kind of like a app dev platform. You can make programs that run inside notes. It's a real version of public folders with custom forms. They focus on that and then happen to have a messaging client.

IE, it's a groupware/messaging/collaboration environment rather than a proper directory service. In most cases, in fact, a Notes/Domino environment will run on top of AD just like Exchange does, though I think you can hook Domino into a Linux infra as well. My personal recollection of Domino, though this is from several revs ago, was that it was close-but-not-quite-so-good as Outlook in terms of being a cool messaging client, but it gave you more options in terms of collaboration apps. (Sharepoint has likely rendered this comparison obsolete in the intervening years since I was a Notes admin.) A quick Google doesn't return what I'd consider a vendor-neutral comparison of Exchange and Domino, but here's the market-speak from both sides of the house. (Maybe compare them and split the difference. :-)): http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/domino/inotes/compare.html http://www.lotus.com/lotus/offering1.nsf/wdocs/messagingcompetitive?OpenDocu ment&cwesite=lotusnotesdom http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/evaluation/compare/METAEx2k3vNotes.mspx - Laura On 10/5/05, Tony Murray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Can anyone point me at an independent source of information on the > capabilities and limitations of the Notes/Domino directory as compared > with AD? > > Tony -- ----------------------- Laura E.
