RE: ldap implementations

["Walker, Mike" <mwalker@v-one.com>]

The URL for the Windows 2000 "Active Directory" stuff is:

http://www.microsoft.com/NTServer/windowsnt5/techdetails/overview/ActDir.asp

In response to some emails I have gotten about my previous post, let me say
that I do not publicly endorse nor do I condone Microsoft's decision not to
wait for standard LDAP replication protocols.

I was not stating an opinion.

Mike,

Did Microsoft actually announce this somewhere? Can you provide a URL?
