For several reasons, at my office, we’ve pushed off the move to Active Directory. I realize this should (could) have been done 5 years ago, but we waited. Now, under threat of audit from people who don’t know IT from a box of cereal, we’ve made the move. Amazingly, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had suspected.

I don’t know if Microsoft is finally figuring out how to do things, or if they’ve just spent 5 years making the upgrade work. Either way, I’m fine with it.

I’ve got to keep WINS around for a little while still, and I’m having to pull some strings with DNS to make that seamless, but overall, I think this was a move in the right direction - even if for the wrong reason.

Kudos to Penrod the Cisco god who helped see that it all went smoothly.
