My Google Fu is usually okay. ;-) We've started offing physical servers in favour of virtual ones. So far mostly Windows servers, but I've started testing e.g. Owncloud on a virtualized CentOS guest. More Linux-machines are likely to be virtualized in due time. We (well, I actually...) decided on standardizing on Hyper-V as there was a really good P2V-tool available for migrating Windows servers. We had lots of them... > Note: I didn't catch it are you using the Microsoft's implementation of > Kerberos? We do have a Windows AD in place, it's the main IT here, but it's soon to be migrated to the central university IT-dept. One less thing to worry about... *nix was originally only a group-business at the dept., but over the years the Linux-ratio has upped considerably, what with backup-servers etc. running on Linux as well as us affording more machines for the original CADD-group. > There's a reason I ask, you said you need to do something,, sounds like > fairly quick, probably a good thing, > if nothing else get centralization = control! - more so -- than before ~ > and so it goes, you will have encapsulated > tickets on steroids, to be sure.. but if you're the only person.. is > your shop that big that SSL wouldn't do the trick?
