short version first. win2k is better than for you with imail, 4.0 is more
stable if your imail ONLY. no web on the same box. what, you want web? use
da 5.0 option pack.
i concur, except that it varies how you cfg win2k. how we do it here
(y'gonna love this) build first, research later. i can't figure how that
actually should work.
but they're my betters. three rounds of that, and now i'm almost allowed to
research before i change anything, i havent' slept right in 4 months and i'm
down to 120 from 170 pounds, but i've got AD on a mscs failover cluster with
imail and www.swva.net running just fine for 6500 baptists, hippies, yuppies
and farmers. i'm none of the preceding...
if you use AD, and you should, and eventually you will esp if you use
win2kas or make your boxes DC's you'll run into the probs that i'm having.
endless port reroutes, security leaks and memory holes (or vice versa, the
one always leads to the other even if the only security jeapordized is
business continuity and your stomach lining), but hey, is nt40 and it's
broken cidaemon.exe and apache any better in the long run? i say no, not
that the one is inherently superior, but simply that you're gonna have
headaches whether you jump or stick. Pay attentiont to the setup articles,
THEN open a support call anyway with windows setup, not everything is in the
docs. it'll save your bacon. sp2 is not the second patch, at 1.2gig
unpacked, that thing had a bigger footprint than the os it was fixing.
things are not getting better that way.
imail issues with m$ ldap, so don't let the users ldap, but anyone who says
no ldap betta start reading what's coming out of redmond. it's ldap and dns,
and AD rides over both, but it's m$ ldap and m$ dns. gotta love dose guys. a
non-interoperable interpretation of standards IS a standard, of sorts...
