RE: [ActiveDir] W2K & W2K3 environment.

[Scott, Anthony]

Ideally… I would recommend fixing your current environment, making it stable and make sure it stays stable. During this time plan an upgrade to 2003. I would recommend not implementing any extensive GPO implementations until your current environment is stable.   Thank You, Anthony Scott Berbee 4690 E. Fulton Dr., Bldg.

We have W2K AD in place, we are not using GPOs except one or two. Now suddenly they (read managers) realized that we need to implement GPO extensively. There are issues with current AD infrastructure like replication is not proper, DNS etc. And other thing is my company has at least 12 different language that we have to support on Windows XP OS.   Now there are two groups in company one is saying go for fixing the existing infrastructure and second is saying go for W2K3 since the W2K is almost non-existant. My question to list is what would you suggest in this situation. Any insights, inputs are more than welcome. Also I will keep posted about the decision we (read managers) make, we are having a meeting with Microsoft for this but just as heads up I need to understand obvious pitfalls if any. -- Sincerely, Jitendra Kalyankar
