Of course you also just described the typical 60 year old UNIX admin. It's a cycle.

Yeah. It's pretty funny. I've been through centralized, decentralized, centralized, etc. It's like breathing. Same with server and back-end tech. I used to be a Unix admin (databases) when the air was clean and sex was dirty. When a new server had to be built in netware, we actually had to calculate the drive size using the blocks printed on the drive labels. Yes...those are actually there for a reason. :laugh:
The very first "large" server I purchased on my own was a Compaq pro-liant 4500 with a full rack of storage. It was $500,000 and it had a massive 500MB of storage. This was enough to pull an entire company. :cheers:
Remember what Bill said. "640K is all you'll ever need".

Good ole' netware. Loved it and it was a time when certification actually had a lot more weight to it. It was amazing to see the difference in how the CNE's worked and what they knew as compared to people who were in MCSE's in those days. NDS was awesome too!

Active Directory IS NDS. It was licensed by Microsoft so they could get out to market. It's among the most notable things they COULDNT steal. VMWare, too. HyperV can't compete with it because while they could host OSes in Windows, they couldn't license/steal some of the inner workings. Look what they did to Citrix with Terminal Server.
The thing that killed Novell was IPX. They were hesitant to adopt TCP/IP and thought IPX was the way to go. That lag in development killed them.

It is and it isn't. It certainly borrows from the X500 standard but it leaves a lot to be desired. AD does not have the same replica scheme with a master, read write, etc. AD also does not incorporate file and folder permissions the same way NDS did. Last, it is bloated as hell because it wants to replicate everything, everywhere. MS may have licensed it but they certainly turned it into a crap pile along the way.
