eDirectory is more than an alternative to AD. NDS (as it was known then) was better in 1994 than AD is in 2008. Fine, Novell have dropped some right bollocks over the years, but eDirectory will slaughter AD from here to kingdom come.

i've been useing OES for a while now and this should be considered version 1 all the otheres before OES2 sp1 should have been considered BETA!!! Good work Novell, but don't stop you still have a long row to hoe.
