No, I haven't personally, but I don't get the thing about loss of ability to manage users/printers. In AD you can get about as granular as you would ever need to. Can't speak to the speed issue directly either, but if you have decent hardware, W2K seems to provide perfectly acceptable file access times.

For the time since the company started, I've been asked to provide reasons to switch to an Active Directory only network, and get rid of Novell Netware. This is in light of our netware server problems recentlya s a result of a bad drive. The Netware folks say that Novell needs SCSI hardware, and have estimated six grand to get everything back up. There are strong objections from the Novell fans to switching to AD, citing such issues as Win2k's speed degradatio for file access compared to Novell, and loss of abilities to manage users and printers. My question is, has anyone out there used Novell and converted to Win2K, and if so, what experiences did you have? Good or bad, because if there *are* issues, I definitely want to make sure I do the best thing. Thanks for any help!
