Andrew - thanks for those insights... now you see why I'm after a consultant
to get me out of this mess! When it comes doen to it I'd be much happier
kicking the AD / Win2K Server to the kerb... and going Samba all the way.
I currently have a very basic Samba 3 Setup going at the remote location - and
am using a NTconfig.POL I generated to enforce certain policies on the clients.
When it comes down to it we don't need to do anything overly complex - all
we want is to have a consistent client experience going on, and a secure and
reliable one at that.
I guess I overcomplicated my original request for help... to simplify it I'd
be interested in hearing from anyone who:
a) understands where I'm trying to get to with our network setup
b) knows how to do it, while keeping us out of bill's pocket as much as
possible, and is able to support development of worthy projects such as Linux
and Samba.
Thanks!
- dan.
