Thought question ... most of the above is present currently
but takes a real expert to get going.
What needs to be done to make it possible so that, given say,
a network of 50 workstations, someone who has never done
it before could get such a network going in a day?
This almost certainly includes
- Documentation
- GUI setup and management tools (*)
- Better configuration defaults
It also might involve
- Making things that require configuration currently
"just work" though automatic detection.
Not a question that really matters for large deployments, that
*do* have experts, but quite important in other situations.
Actually it may be a question for very large deployments where people
have a large XP/2000 crowd running kerberos underneath AD and not
knowing much about it.
I dont know the answer myself yet. It needs to be done as it is on my
list of things to learn this fiscal year.. and once I have caught up
with that.. I might be able to help.
