Windows 2000 Active Directory |
Active
Directory is Microsoft's answer to Novell's
Directory Services. It promises to support
a single unified view of all objects on a
network (no matter what size) and locating
and managing resources faster and easier.
Based on the Lightweight Directory Access
Protocol, and the Directory Services in Exchange
5.5, this could be a major advance for Microsoft
if it works well. A bit of warning to Admin's
with no Novell experience - setting up a Directory
Tree is no small task and should be planned
carefully. A small amount of mismanagement
in the early planning phases will be costly
later when your network grows. |

rename procedure. For an understanding of the
constraints of the domain rename procedure,
please see the accompanying document, "Understanding
How Domain Rename Works", available on this
page. In order to perform the domain
rename procedure, you must be running Windows
.NET Server BETA 3 or higher on every domain
controller in the forest in which the domain
rename is to be performed
