Elimination of ADAM from TFS
Michael Shorten posted a comment wondering about the elimination of Active Directory / Application Mode (AD/AM) from Team Server.
I first caught wind of it in a comment by Brian Harry. But authoritative confirmation, for me anyway, came from Buck Hodges in a comment to a post about 'namespace administrators'.
I'm happy to see it ADAM go. The June CTP will have security native within TFS through the GSS subsystem. According to Brian, you'll be able to specify Team foundation group membership by:
- Local machine users and groups;
- AD users and groups; and
- Other TF Groups
That's the way it should have been from the beginning, but that's why there are CTPs and Betas.

Thanks for posting that Mike. It makes sense to eliminate ADAM, although I can understand why they were exploring that possibility. I still find the separate security a complete mess - if/when I do get this little util up and running, I'll throw the code your way.
Regards!
