Another Active Directory solution to
the sins of NT

Manager (SAM) database of users, committed deadly sins, two of which I discussed
last month. This month, I'd like to take up the concept of the Lightweight

detailed description of LDAP, see Craig Zacker, "LDAP and the Future of
Directory Services: Part 1," October 1997.)
