Have implemented the product at a number of clients in single and
multiple domain forests and used it for real on a number of occasions.
One or two minor problems but nothing that would stop me implementing it
again and the support on those occasions was excellent here in the UK

Hi James
We bought this when it was an Aelita tool and loved the product - it pretty
much paid for itself in one step the second month we were using it. The
product is still good but I have nothing good to say about Quest support
(but I could complain for hours about it if I am allowed to).
I would have to agree. We've been using it since the Aelita days as well.
We rely on it and it performs well. One advantage of using a .bkf solution
vs a database backend is being able to restore point-in-time attributes.
One quirk - watch how/when it restores back-linked attributes.
Hope
Same here... Good stuff.
To be fair though, most of the major AD players have these tools now.
The thing about the Quest (Aelita) tool was its use of their own APIs to
address issues like Domain Local Groups etc. I haven't kept up with the
latest versions so I am not sure what direction they
Wow, 18 replies. I really appreciate all the information, folks. I've already

What I mean by that is that if the security strategy is to use the juniper

in this situation? Just for SMTP?
Why?
