The
process is nothing like that.There's a lot of hyperbole around this whole thing,
IMO. It's really not as onerus as many of these speculative articles would have
people believe. Seriously, folks, dig a little and you'll find things like this:

Oh,
one other thing- it most certainly *is* companies with 1000+ workstations who
are exceeding their license purchases. They're typically not doing it
intentionally, but they're most certainly doing it. (Of course, not *all*
companies of any particular size do it, but there are far more
Personally I find the licensing policies of Microsoft much harder to
understand than the technical issues. With the plethora of good and
often free alternatives I am amazed at the insensitivity shown by
Microsoft to its customers who are made to jump through hoops like
performing dogs.

I did an eval of NetPro ADT. The main
issue I found was an incredibly short trial license period, which pretty
much caused us to cease our proof of concept in our lab environment. Otherwise,
I liked what I saw. Maybe your sales rep can get you an extended trial
license.

Before you go testing or creating a proof of concept, may I
suggest you document you requirements so that you have a basis for testing the

I've been talking to a vendor about an application they are developing. It
involves running ADAM instances on XP Pro machines (laptops) that replicate
with a centralised ADAM instance running on W2K3. I don't have further details

Hi Tony,
I agree with your concern. I don't want to go off topic, or push someone
elses product, but Citrix Password Manager will do this, and provide
complete security. It can run in disconnected mode and does not need a
Citrix server in-place for it to work. I'm sure there are other solutions
ADAM on XP is no different from ADAM on w2k3 security-wise. The big
differences are that it is throttled somewhat perf-wise, and also
there's no auditing.
I do not see any serious security problems with this approach. Unless
you are thinking that somebody steals the laptop, cracks the DIT open

Yes, my security concern was with regard to laptop theft. As you say, these
are ADAM and not AD accounts, so the risk of compromise is localised to the
application. Good tip about EFS (even if I'm not a big fan of it generally).
There may be other options (e.g. hardware
Hi Tony,
I would think the only security risk with doing this is that if a laptop
is stolen, the entire contents of the directory, rather than just this
user's credentials, could be compromised.
