RE: [ActiveDir] Schema Question

è  Actually have a client in your sub 5000 bracket that will probably go MIIS

è  Doing a major org MIIS install at the moment that looks like it will come in well <$100K

 

I recommended some sort of provisioning system, not just MIIS to the OP. MIIS was the example…

 

Thanks,

Being the cheapest doesn't make it cheap, Brian. It's all relative. Let me see you sell MIIS to a sub-5000-user environment. I've yet to see a successful MIIS implementation that costed less than 6 figures. That is an amount that I call "stratospheric", and would never recommend in response to questions similar to the one posted by the OP.
