The question is functionality -- if this is something that is useful, and that will reduce management overhead, it is something that should be done. If they will not use the functionality, then they should not do it. To me, the quick reboot is minimal downtime, and if paired during a scheduled maintenance period, it would be easy to do, and would offer great functionality.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3452215" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2011/08/30/install-active-directory-management-service-for-easy-powershell-access.aspx#3450334Wed, 31 Aug 2011 13:10:20 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3450334Klaus Schulte<p>Hi Ed,</p> <p>this are indeed helpful components for &quot;older&quot; domain controlers, that we still have up running in our company. </p> <p>&quot;If only i could sell this goodness to our adims!&quot; </p> <p>They won&#39;t install any &quot;additional components&quot; on their DCs :-(((</p> <p>Klaus.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3450334" width="1" height="1">
