It is a much different beast than Windows NT 4.0, and really needs to be managed as such. AD Administration is very complex; so is Group Policy Management. Data integrity enforcement is not provided natively in AD. If you limit yourself with management tools, you will not be able to realize the real benefits of Windows 2000. Keith is Quest's director of product management for Microsoft solutions. Doug is Quest's FastLane Migrator product manager. Both have worked through a variety of migration issues with numerous customers. Join them for an in-depth conversation about Active Directory, the role it will play in your move to Windows 2000, and some deployment barriers that need to be overcome. >>Click here to pre-register... http://searchwindowsmanageability.techtarget.com/onlineEvents/0,289675,sid33,00.html __________________________________________________________________ ::::::::::::::::::: SEARCHWIN2000 CONTACTS ::::::::::::::::: TIP MAILBOX, (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send us feedback on tips and ideas for new tip content. ____________________________________________________________________ JAN STAFFORD, Site Editor (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send us your original articles and best practices. ____________________________________________________________________ MEREDITH DERBY, Assistant News Editor (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send your press releases and case studies. ____________________________________________________________________ KRISSI DANIELSSON, Assistant Editor (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send your white papers and Best Web Links. ____________________________________________________________________ ED PARRY, News Editor (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send in your product announcements and poll ideas. ____________________________________________________________________ MIKE KELLY (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Sponsor this or any other TechTarget newsletter. ____________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ :::::::::::::::::::: ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER ::::::::::::::::::::: Created by TechTarget (http://www.techtarget.com) TechTarget - The Most Targeted IT Media Copyright 2002, All Rights Reserved.
