Brigham Young last month tried and failed to move to an all-NT
4.0 server front end for its Web apps, which are accessed by about
50,000 students and 4,200 full-time faculty at the Provo, Utah,
campus.
“My faith in NT was shaken, diminished,” says Stone, who
originally advocated the use of Windows NT to upper management.
Right now, the IT unit is revisiting the question of whether NT is
a suitable Web server front end. Stone, for instance, is pressing
hard to put e-mail services back on Unix boxes.
