Re: SAMR Interface Calls and Active Directory



Why there are SAMR calls even when Windows NT 4 is not being used at
all in the scenario as mentioned above? Or in other words if in Windows
2000 and above, Active DIrectory is being used then why SAMR calls are
being used?

Think of it this way.
You are getting ready to release Windows 2000 and its new Active Directory.
You know all existing machines would use SAMR to attempt to do certain
actions. You know that for some, likely long, time you will have both
Windows
NT 4 based domains and Windows 2000 based Active Directory domains in
use. Hence you know that for some time there will be machines attempting to
join either type of domain, or being used to manage accounts of either.
What do you do ? a) keep SAMR for all cases, b) introduce something new
and force use of only the new for the post-NT4 ?
