Dear SearchWin2000.com readers,
Active Directory (AD) -- design it correctly and it's an Administrator's Dream, allowing an organization to centrally manage and share information on network resources. Fail to plan however, and it could quickly become an Absolute Disaster as your network grows.
With that in mind, we've created a comprehensive Learning Guide to help you plan and design your AD. Broken into five user-friendly sections, this guide covers AD basics, planning your AD, migration, deployment and additional resources.
The AD Learning Guide is the first of a series of educational features we plan to offer our members in the coming months. The idea is to showcase our best technical information in a format that brings you up to speed quickly on key technologies you need to master. The guides are a mix of definitions, tips, hints, "Ask the Expert" answers, technical articles, featured topics and webcasts.
In a few weeks, we'll be publishing part two, "Managing your Active Directory." We hope that you'll find these guides to be a useful reference. If you have ideas for other guides you'd like to see, please email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll do our best to create them for you.
- Catherine Ketcher, Site Editor

This Week: In the forums
|
| >> |
In the Administrator forum, a SearchWin2000.com member writes, "How do big companies deal with local user accounts? We are migrating our desktop PCs to XP. However, we have users that hotswap desks all the time; I see a problem adding everyone to each individual computer, especially as they need to have local administrative rights. Is this something that Active Directory handles?" |

In the Exchange forum, a SearchWin2000.com member writes, "While backing up and verifying Exchange 5.5 mailboxes, I receive messages as follows: "WARNING: 'filename' is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify." I get many of these messages causing the backup to take 16-20 hours to complete. The error messages are not always the same and sometimes there are no error messages at all and the backup runs normally. Are these real corrupt files or is something else going on? Is there a utility program that can be run to check the integrity of the mailboxes and fix any problems encountered?" |

| Tip of the Week: |
| To update 19th century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli's oft-quoted line, there are lies, damn lies and sponsored research reports. Forrester Research's Giga Information Group subsidiary released a report this week that came to the conclusion that companies can save up to 28% by developing applications such as portals on Windows instead of Linux. There's just one problem with this report: Microsoft paid for it. |
