<div dir="ltr">in a windows only network, sure. have fun getting anything else to authenticate to it properly though. I dont think you even need to know a lot about ldap to get it going with fds, but its still a useful thing to know if you are a linux guy, AD is also ldap. I'd really doubt that it could ever be faster since AD also adds DNS, kerberos, DHCP, NTP all into it.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Ease of use, speed, dependency. I love mysql, php, apache, linux but LDAP is just way too confusing and need to many hands on to manage. AD just works, was a breeze to setup (i setup exchange server, ADAM in 2 days serving 6,000 users) and I had 0 previous experience with either as I am a linux guy. It has worked flawlessly with not a single thing done to it since being setup. I don't like the licensing fees either but it is worth the money to not have to do any management on a daily basis and I mean 0 seconds of my time or my admins in the last 3 months.<div class="Ih2E3d">

<div dir="ltr">I've used them both too, and I never noticed any real advantage with AD. In fact, FDS would do everything just like you said, and I wasnt forced into vendor lock-in to do it. What were your main drawbacks with LDAP?<div>

<div dir="ltr">Been using Fedora Directory Server since its inception and up until recently, I would have recommended it above all others. I am a Linux guru, windows hater and favor open source over any proprietary product. That being said, I recently switched to a new company and they happen to be all XP and 2003 server along with exchange.<br>
<br>Having had the opportunity to work now with both FDS and Active Directory, I can tell you from first hand experience, Active Directory wins hands down. It was easy to setup, easy to replicate, support 6,000 users currently at my office and is easily running on a dual core system while hardly using any resources.<br>
<br>I am no lover of Microsoft or any of its products but switching to ADAM was the best move i could have made. There is no comparison on ease of setup, ease of management, stability. ADAM wins hands down as much as I hate to say it, its true.<br>

Hello Andrey and Ben,<br>
<br>
Thanx for your answers!<br>
<br>
The document realy explains the differences between both directory's!<br>
I'm taking it for input for the why question for our project!<br>
For the performance we are going to test that!<br>
<br>
With kind regards,<br>
