Due to the&nbsp;size and&nbsp;complexity of our Forest, the ADFR team has been experiencing some pains. The Windows Server 2003 appeared to be more&nbsp;reliable than Windows Server 2000, but somehow is still lacking of scalability and missing features.&nbsp;Windows Server 2008 is a very promising candidate to ease our current burden, and we’re seriously considering upgrading to it”. </FONT> <P><FONT face="Century Gothic" size=2>By the way, on a side note, Suhendar will be sharing his experience on Active Directory with the local Microsoft communities too.
