Oh my. Oh my.

My district is currently running NDS/GroupWise but that's cause it's what we
had when all of our current staff was hired. We just haven't had the budget
or time to move to AD/Exchange.

That *IS* a step in the wrong direction. Move TO AD, not to NDS. Damn... I
would at least wait until the next (linux) version of NetWare comes out...
If it's great then move to it, otherwise move everyone to AD. :(

Subject: [windows2000] What would happen if Exchange were uninstalled from
our network

At work we have a Windows 2000 Server network with Active Directory.  We
also use MS Exchange 2000 for our email server and collaboration.  We have
also been using Outlook as our email client.  Well, our parent company uses
GroupWise and I believe they have every intention of making us use it.
(They have been going around and installing the GW client, which then makes
it impossible to get back into Outlook and get anything out of it, like your
contacts, schedule, old emails, etc.)  They haven't yet uninstalled
Exchange, but I believe they want to.  

I have heard that Exchange 2000 is deeply integrated into AD.  What I would
like to know is, if they just walk up to the server and uninstall Exchange,
will that cause any damage to AD?
