You will have some problems getting the user authentification to work on an W2k Zope Server. That was my experience. I recompiled and created a package for the LDAP Userfolder so that now I can use the LDAPUserfolder and python-ldap to authenticate users with the Active Direcory Domain Server. If you need ODBC, you should use an W2k Server otherwise Linux. (My personal opinion!!!) Regards, Volker Wend

I am investigating the use of Zope to host an Intranet. The main network is Windows NT/2000, presently using an NT Domain, but planning to move to Active Directory shortly.
I am interested in what the advantages/disadvantages of hosting zope on a linux or Win32 platform. My experience is mostly with hosting on linux. Some things that already occur to me are user authentication and ODBC drivers, which I think would tend to favour win32.
Any thoughts and experience or links to resources gratefully accepted. Peter
