The reason for the recommendation is that Windows 2000 Domain controllers have been the most problematic for users. Thanks to changes in .04 in the way that Authentication and interfacing with AD are handled, many of these concerns are no longer an issue. Please note that this advice is mainly for new installs. If you already have Imail installed on a 2000 DC and everything is working, the old adage "if it ain't broke don't fix it" applies.

Bednarz Sent: Monday, May 08, 2006 5:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] IMail and AD I would stick with Ipswitch's recommendations. However, I'm a small business with 100 users running 2006.04 on a Windows 2003 Server running AD. Perhaps I am inviting trouble, but at the moment I have had no issues. I was actually unaware of this until shortly after having already upgrading. I suppose at some point I should demote it and promote one of my other servers. James P.

It mentions under "Required Software": "Do not deploy IMail on a Windows 2000 Domain Controller in an Active Directory environment." My predecessor and I have done this since 2001. What problems should I be experiencing? adamc To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
