“Less than a week after releasing Windows 2000, Microsoft is
already working on a patch for Active Directory that addresses
problems with the directory’s user administration features.”
“While Microsoft was engaged in another directory tit-for-tat
last week with Novell, company officials acknowledged that at
least one fix for Active Directory will be in the first Win 2000
service pack. No date has been set for the shipment of the service
pack.”
“The patch addresses a problem pointed out by members of
Microsoft’s Joint Development Program, a group of early adopters
and high-level beta testers. Those people pressured the firm to
address the issue they say could seriously complicate management of
groups of users, according to sources.”
