Case Closed!!!
Case Closed DL,
With your last statement here you've admitted and proved my point!!
Most "Real Admins" these days have more than enough on their plates to allocate their precious time between than to be baby sitting Windows based workstations and servers, trust me, been there, done that, and prefer not to go back to that!!!
That's the reason I as an administrator convinced my employer to go with my suggestion in moving to a different infrastructure, moving from windows workstations and servers to Novell Open SuSe Linux & Zenworks platform. The change took a year and five months, the TCO has been drastically reduced, while productivity shot up dramatically, administering the entire network is a breeze with Zenworks product, to make a long story short, the whole thought of bringing it to light with management netted me nearly $20k in bonuses, can you say that about your messy "Active Directory" network??
I thought not!!!!
