This is actually an interesting area ... If the solution were built on top of protocols such as LDAP, then I do not believe that would be the case. There are no real ties that I am aware of between their LDAP server, and any particular client ... you would just be using AD as a "database" of personal information. However, I have heard the talk several times about the requirement of having Windows2000 everywhere for AD to be used. I think this is if you want AD to manage all of your workstations and servers. For basic identity management I don't think this would be required. I'm working to get one of my test machines updated so that I can look at their LDAP server ... I'll know more then ... Scott C.
