I think the trend is not to organize but to search for it, at least that the new world order according to Google :) I'm thinking about deploying it but keep it disabled and give the user an option to enable it. that should satisfy the few who want it and the rest don't care. Need to investigate now how to best do that.

To give this thread, I too am curious about people's experience managing Desktop Search programs. I have a few users that have used it; it involves the occasional slowness of their machine, and corrupted indexes from time to time. Other than that, not much of a pain. We used cached mode in outlook, so our server is not taking a hit... Personally, I fear these programs will replace normal organizing of correspondence that we require our users to perform. Thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: Osama Salah [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2008 9:31 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Anything against implementing WDS? Neither, sorry didn't realize there are so many WDS's I meant Windows Desktop Search. rgds OS -----Original Message----- From: Phil Brutsche [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 25, 2008 5:14 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Anything against implementing WDS? WDS? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_Distribution_System or http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/servermanager/windows deploymentservices.mspx? I assume that it's the former rather than the latter. There are 2 big drawbacks against WDS: * each hop cuts the bandwidth in *half* * Your security is severely limited - the only real access control options are WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK. Anything else is proprietary to the AP vendor you use. Lack of standardization is the cause of the second point.
