We just made 5 server switch in February (Web, Imail, SQL, Media, Dev/Staging).  Biggest advantages over NT is Terminal Services and Ability to modify NIC settings without restart.  Both of those already saved enough time and rescources to make up for the upgrade investment.   Definitely a good move.   David ----- Original Message ----- From: Don Wolff To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 11:59 AM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Off topic but I value your input I think I would have to argue that the only reason to run W2K is AD is not at all correct. The support for plug and play, which actually pretty much works, USB availability, built in Terminal Services fro remote management (which is so much faster than any other remote connection software out there), not having to re-boot after looking cross-eyed at the system, much better Mac networking support (both files and printing), stability and reliability. All of these "little things" make W2k a much better OS than NT4. Throw AD in and it is a pretty good server platform. Are there troubles, yes. Name an OS without them. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Salvatore Buttice Sent: Friday, June 01, 2001 7:54 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Off topic but I value your input If you're going to use Active Directory (about the only reason for setting up a new 2K network...), you need to use Microsoft's Win2K DNS server. >From what I understand, Active Directory will not work without that running. -----Original Message----- From: Troy D.

What do you all use and what are the pro's & cons? In the past we've used NT DNS and hate it and I've heard MenandMice's DNS server mentioned a few times. Any input is appreciated.   Troy D.
