Main reason for this idea of migration is the xp pcs requirement of group policy, I couldn't move over to samba/nfs/nis until there were no xp
what I meant, was that I couldn't move active directory over first because of the use of group policy. If I did, I would have to configure local policies on the xp clients and use logon scripts to enforce registry settings for the user accounts, unless I used mandatory profiles for the users, which I don’t want to do. The other aspect of the slow move would be that I can test the 2 side by side and have user input on the configuration of the pc's and user accounts. Also, my skills are limited on Linux, compared to MS AD networks, so it will also be a trial for me.

From this, I do think this method could allow me to move more slowly, due to proprietary software holding me back. Waiting for successmaker to come out with cross platform capabilities, which I've been told they are working on.
I'm sorry.. you lost me there. What about group policy requirements restricts you from making a smoother transition? ----- Paul Graydon Network Technician Haywards Heath College http://www.hhc.ac.uk (01444) 456281 "Joy is not in things; it is in us."
