Keithsha, you are amusing. NDS's dominance in the industry and their countless examples of enterprise-scale rollouts in these environments across several continents is proof enough. Prrof is in the pudding Keithsha. Give me 5 examples of a single domain structure which exceeds 30,000 objects! JUST 5! Here are my five: 1) Novell demonstrated at last years NetWorld+Interop in Las Vegas a single Directory Tree of over 200,000 objects! They installed this tree and system in less than 2 weeks. And they had the guts to demonstrate it in front of all its industry peers! I believe they were able to run this 200,000+ object tree on only 16 servers (there is a whitepaper on this rollout)! As I understand it, this is still the largest single tree production directory service environment ever demonstrated and it was 100% successful. (Domains would have crashed at only a very small fraction of this number - even MSFT knows that and they would never take on a challenge like this that Novell did). 2) State Farm Insurance. I sat with the techs from this company last year and their one NDS tree is in excess of 40,000 objects. They told me that it is showing no stress at all and more than able to expand to SFI's future requirements. Their organization has thousands of servers worldwide. Funny - they dont seem to have issue with you suppose "NDS porblems". 3) Ford. Their NDS tree at the time I heard about them last year was over 60,000 objects. 4) Federal Government Department (Defense, I believe): Over 80,000 objects in their tree. 5) Novell in their test labs tested the limitations to the NDS tree. Late last year they successfully demonstrated over 1,000,000 objects on one tree! The average NDS response to queries into the tree was under 3 seconds - no matter where in the tree the query was sourced from. I also believe that this tree was operated on only 8 servers. Novell is now in the process of testing 1,000,000,000 objects in their tree. Although this is a very very large task, Novell is confident that it can be done. Tell me thats not enterprise scale Directory Services! If you want more, I can go on. But now its your turn to show actual examples of the true power of Domains. I want real examples that we can investigate. The ball is in your court buddy! BTW - You can go ahead and call these companies that I have listed and ask them if I am telling the truth. So Keithsha, stop your spreading of FUD and start talking about how Domain Structures from MSFT can compare. You dont even know what watchdogs and backlinks are! Before you throw your fancy and totally incorrect arguments out for all to laugh at, please explain to us all what watchdogs are. Because if you do and you are correct, I think the board will realize how stupid your arguments are. If you dont explain what a watchdog is, I will explain it to the board. But I think its best that you do since its you bitch about the technology. LOL - I am soo amazed that MSFT has not muzzled you by now. You are doing so much to expose the Domain Structure for what it really is and prove the NDS is the leader of Directory Services for a reason. If Novell were on this board - they would thank you personally! Cheers and Thanks Keithsha! Toy
