Would suggest that OWA on 2K isn't a big enough driver for you to rush your AD implementation. Anything wrong with OWA on your existing 5.5 architecture? Give you a bit of breathing space to get AD built and operational.

Install 2 AD domain controllers (split roles) for accounts (We have AD plan written, so we would start enough of this to get us going) Make 2 way trust between nt4 domain and ad Migrate users mailboxes to exch2k server (ADMT or Quest tool) Users with mailboxes on exch2k server either have to log into ad or log into nt4 and authenticate every time they use Outlook Thank you for any opinions or suggestions! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************* Confidentiality Notice & Disclaimer *********************** This message, together with any attachments, is for the confidential and exclusive use of the addressee(s).
