Ponnu,

Looks like our resident OiD expert - Rich Jesse - didn't pick this up :) My
thoughts are:

* My understanding is that although Oracle threatened to yank Onames, they
have still allowed it to reside in 9.2.0.x. I haven't heard anything about
this in 10g... 
* OiD is a lot more than just a replacement for Onames - it is the basis for
Single-signon and a starting point for Content management. As such, my
reading is that it is still not kosher enough... (although I heard a BDE
person say that the OiD in iAS 9.0.4 was much improved)
* OiD is supposed to be LDAP (v3?) compliant - that would mean that M$
products should work seamlessly against a Corporate LDAP server served out
of Oracle OiD. Try getting M$ to bless this ;-)  OTOH, OiD is supposed to be
able to replicate well from M$ ADS. I haven't had the opportunity to try
that out yet...

Although I wouldn't advice against progress (Onames -> OiD), my question is
'Why fix something that is currently not broken'? Until the whole LDAP space
settles down, I would advice waiting. (You still have V7 and that will crimp
your style)
