According to ADXSTUDIO, you need Active Directory when deploying ADXSTUDIO 2006, even if using ADAM. Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be ENTIRELY the case.

We've successfully deployed a site using the IUSR account using a local account and still managed to deploy a site fine using ADAM - to a point. Critically, the server is on a Workgroup.

Only problem is the document access and web permissions editors in the administration console. They don't like it :)

We'll be seeing if we can crack that nut next!

Historically we've been seen as a Microsoft shop within the UK eBusiness division - quite rightly too. As part of the wider B&D group though we have a lot of experience in the Java/Open Source arena to bring to the party as well. For example, currently we provide solutions expertise in all the following ECM/CMS systems:

SME                 /\       ADXSTUDIO (Closed Source / .NET)
                        |       Pelikan (Open Source / PHP)
                        |       EPiServer( Closed Source / .NET)
                        |       Nuxeo (Open Source / Java)
Enterprise        \/       MOSS (Closed Source / .NET)

This means that we've got a solution to fit any client, any size, any budget. It's a nice place to be in this marketplace where there is often an established platform that constrains the system (UNIX/Windows).
