I'd love to be involved in testing the new AD.
I should be able to make a couple client machines available to test on.
Let me know,

The active directory consolidation project report will discuss a lot of
varied topics - because a lot is riding on this.
It specifically mentions Macs and currently recommends we use Open
Directory in the Magic Triangle to support macintoshes. We feel O.D.
offers a good solution, and we don't want to do anything to break it.
I had some Emails with Don in ES about how he's using Open Directory, and
he mentioned Mathew's work too. My belief is - if the magic triangle is
working with Nexus today, it should work with our future active directory.
On a side note: 64 bit nexus domain controllers have been orderred, and in
about two months we will be moving nexus to Windows Server 2008 R2. First
we will use them in nexustest, a separate active directory used just for
testing. If all works fine, we will move them to the real nexus.
I imagine someone doing open directory would want to be involved while we
do our testing - in a couple of weeks.
