As much as I don't like proprietary technologies, I really do like AD
over NT4. We recently implemented it over here, and in spite of a
little "growing pain" (samba auth against the PDC emulator) it's a
very smooth system. But, if I had my way, it would have been LDAP
with a Samba NT4 domain. (was -> <- that close, but the rep from
Microsoft oo'ed and aah'ed the execs with AD stuff)
