I think DA absolutely rocks. So does BitLocker. And AppLocker. And BranchCache. And RODCs.
All incremental evolutionary improvements - but they make the environment easier to use and more secure. Regards, Michael B.

But, it requires Win2k8 R2 - I assume for AD and the actual UAG server, if nothing else. We're in the early planning stages of going to Win7 in the new year, and I'm intrigued, but skeptical from a technology/security maturation perspective. I haven't seen any real discussion of it either - anyone have experience they'd care to share? One big reason for asking is because it requires Win7 Enterpise, and we need to make the decision between Pro and Enterprise. And, has anyone seen any other compelling reason to choose Enterprise over Pro?
