Active Directory fix to require significant upgrade By John Fontana Network World, 02/26/01 REDMOND, WASH. - A key security flaw in Microsoft's Active Directory pointed out more than 12 months ago by early adopters won't be patched for nearly another year. What's more, enterprise users will have to upgrade all their directory servers, known as domain controllers, to the forthcoming "Whistler" version of Windows 2000 to activate the patch. Observers say the security flaw, which can cause changes to user groups to be dropped before being recorded, tops the list of issues that need to be addressed in Active Directory. Until the flaw is fixed, Microsoft says the workaround involves procedural policies for administering the directory...... nwfusion.com Good to see that the upgrade will add to MSFT's bottom line. I often wonder if this company's marketing genius has filtered into the programming area!
