Windows 2000 adoption
According to a recent survey of 1,200 IT managers by Giga Information Group, only 30% of organizations have begun migration to Windows 2000 Server. And of those which did, only one in four have attempted a full-blown native Active Directory implementation.
The survey also revealed that 61% of IT executives were planning to cautiously initiate the changeover to Win 2000 within the next six to 12 months.
"2002 will see a big shift to Windows 2000 Server," says Laura DiDio, a Giga analyst. "But it's the first day of school for everyone so it's no surprise that more than half the companies moving to Windows 2000 are deferring the adoption of [Active Directory] indefinitely."
