My complete ACK. I even have those sentences in my head coming from MS
marketeers themselfs stating that rebooting after software installation
would be not be seen with W2k anymore...

*cough*

It's one of the main problems I often see in my work. Often developers use
those technologies of which a marketeer/evangeliste praied that it would
solve a special problem, but unfortunately the deepness of knowhow is then
often missing. This brings in new security problems... 

A problem can be solved with nearly every technology, the question is what
the problem is about and what are the needs.

And anyway. I still got not enough info from the first poster about what
he really wants to do and what the needs are to be able to tell him the
best solution...
