Altering the subject a mite: I've not yet purchased these books and so am not completely familiar with the content... Does anyone have a recommendation for AD programming using .NET? VB is my personal poison of choice. VBS would probably suffice for my anticipated needs but I do wish to get

I hope you aren't frustrated by the book being written in C# rather than VB.NET. That rule was imposed by my coauthor and the publisher. All of the code samples are re-written in VB.NET and posted on the website, so hopefully that works for you. For the most part, the actual VB and C# code

Agreed,And I don't believe somehow policies become easier to troubleshoot with exclusions, specially in a very large environment with high level of delegation coupled with varying level of skill sets. In fact the way Enforced or Block Policy are visually marked in GPMC console, I wish there was

LOL. I really actually like LDAP and Win32 API type coding. I do understand though the draw for some folks for .NET. Just not for me, especially as I play more and more in the FreeBSD space. ;) ASP.NET I expect will be the first thing I go into when/if I make a step in that direction. Something

Well :-) I suppose, you are looking at tiny figure of 300 users and why not choosing option 1 straight away. If only every IT manager was as forceful and articulate about danger of short term decisions as you are. About migrating to corporate domain, that is achievable as both sites are not going

Someday you need to take a spin through System.DirectoryServices.Protocols (.NET 2.0) in C# and see if you like it. It is a direct interop layer over wldap32, exposing the entire feature surface. It does impose an OO model on top of the API, but it is done in a very LDAP-centric way, using

Another example of that regional forest type model Ive noticed dealing in the state/local space is that sometimes you have organizations like the police/sheriff or an auditor which has to be separate. You end up standing up a forest for a hundred users or something, but, those groups

Replication is certainly a good reason to separate. Not a common one however from what I've seen. African continentmight be in a similar boat for some international companies. There are some other reasons as well, but they have been very far and few between from my experience. I can't talk to the

Elevating priveledges from DA to EA (or from physical DC access to EA) is simple This requires physical access to any DC in the same forest. A cross forest / cross domain trust would require some additional configuration done to the forest to be able to do the same thing. Regards; James R. Day

Yeah. See the problem with that policy concept is that in your environment you've already noticed that good ideas are seldom given a chance to live long enough to make it to your level :) That said, I would think it's extremely dangerous to try and break it like that. Although, it could work, the
