  Re: AD and Web Farm Reply Contact You don't need AD to run a web-farm, it's a REALLY nice to have.  Having AD makes it easier to implement things like shared config, user account management, service account manage.  If you wanted to just have stand-alone boxes that use a front-end hardware load-balancer, they could be workgroup boxes.  Shared hosting primer. http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/197/web-server-for-shared-hosting/ http://weblogs.asp.net/hosterposter/archive/2007/05/28/iis7-shared-hosting-guidance.aspx Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.IISLogs.com Log archival solution Install, Configure, Forget

  Re: AD and Web Farm Reply Contact The link you provided would be the best resource since it's info from MS.  The blog / article I'm working on is just my experience and probably won't be done for a while.  + I can't comment on sharepoint and exchange 'shared hosting' experience.  http://msexchange.org is a great resource for Exchange info.  I can't comment on a resource for Sharepoint.
