Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX 2.0 Market Bulletin Windows Services for UNIX 2.0 provides a set of additional features to Windows NT and Windows 2000 that allow for greater interoperability with existing UNIX-based systems in the enterprise. Although NDS for NT offers some benefits to administrators who must manage both NetWare and Windows NT-based servers, the way in which Novell has designed NDS for NT 2.0 creates certain risks, limitations, and weaknesses that administrators should assess when choosing such tools. Novell announced the open-beta testing phase of an upcoming version of NDS called NDS Version 8. In this announcement, Novell claims that NDS Version 8 can support upward of 1 billion objects, and integrates more Internet standards and applications than any of its competitors, allowing interoperability with other LDAP-based directories and applications. This paper presents Microsoft's response to Novell's claims.
