Ok I have worked with the LDAP and w2k. The only Issue is that you might have a look at Netscape's version of LDAP as you will be able to sync between windows and Linux user ids and so on.
Download Netscape directory server it's free as well. The only problem is that netscape directory server uses alot of processing power in the server side. > On Mon, 8 Apr 2002, GR Development wrote: > > > We are a group of IT students at Coffs Harbour Education Campus and we > are > > having problems with our project.
