Symposium 4.2 and Active Directory

[pruden]

Does anyone know if there are any issues with adding SCCS 4.2 - W2000 - to active directory?

In according to Nortel NTP, you will have not a troubles after adding SCCS 4.2 to the Win2k domain.

But in my practice,I never implement this step for Symposium work stability and for security reasons.

And all I know is, I've seen endless problems relating to GPO after adding Symposium to a domain...

I heard from our support vendor on this. Turns out that it is possible but they strongly suggested that we not do it. I guess there is a step by step document that we need to follow (have not been able to get it yet) and that if we don't follow this to the letter it could result in a total outage requiring a ground up install. So - we are not going to add our Symposium servers to AD.

Thanks for the feedback. We cannot have an outage of that scope so the risk is too high.

There is some documentation, but not what they really need to put out. It does not get into the specifics you really need in order to determine which policies will have an adverse impact. Very frustrating.
