Take our latest poll: http://www.searchWin2000.com/poll =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ASK THE EXPERT | Administration and Performance Dear Ask the Expert, We want to extend functionality by integrating Win2k authentication on our LDAP servers. I've heard it's possible to "replicate" LDAP data into ADS, but I'd like to know if it's possible to keep the authentication out of Windows, just like we have decentralized authentification in the UNIX world. In other words, is it possible to keep users in the LDAP and not have them in the ADS?

IrelandOffline is a pressure group pressing for better Internet access. Organizers think the best way to put their concerns in the spotlight is to put the country's communication networks in the dark. If anyone hears the silence, maybe better and cheaper Net access will result. Ahh, the pluck of the Irish!
