HI All,<br />
<br />
We are starting to plan a migration of WAS 7.0.0.X (both 5 and 9) to a new environment that contains of &nbsp;Microsoft &nbsp;Acitive Directory 2008r2 in native mode. While I know the system req's for 7 state that only 2003 is support, just wondering if anyone has attempted and got it working, or knows why LDAP authenication using 2008r2 ad doesn't work?<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />
