Re: ADAM (Active Directory Application Mode) Topology, Replication

Ace,

Thanks for those links.

I have a baseline understanding of ADAM as it appertains to smaller
environments. My question is, what about ADAM as used for a global
enterprise. I mean, what about replication accross slow links? I
see some chatter about ADAM needing to be told what site its in, if
applicable.

Its a question of bandwidth and design. Do you know of any microsoft
resources, or other resources for that matter, that get into the nuts
and bolts of designing an ADAM infrastructure as it appertains to a
global enterprise.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Enterprise". Does that mean you want to run a
directory service based soley on ADAM, such as with authentication,
sercurity, delegation, with objects like computers, users, groups,
distribution lists, etc? That's not really it's intention. One example is
that it can be used for an LDAP directory, used for a web app, etc. It's the
toned down version of AD, like Netscape LDAP. I wouldn't use Netscape's LDAP
service for a directory service.

Active Directory is what would be required for an enterprise
directory/authentication service.
