Steve, Windows 2000 addresses these problems by basing its directory on DNS, which is a very efficient distributed database, and by allowing finer granularity when assigning admin rights. E.G. a user can have a subset of admin rights over a subset of objects, rather than the more all or nothing rights you get with NT 4.0. To take advantage of these improvements, you want to upgrade everybody in the organisation, not just the power users. I have also heard that a lot of effort went into DNS to "catch Windows 2000 up with Unix", at least in regard to security. Is that a fair statement? What do you think of Windows 2000 so far? Tony
