This is the story of the problems, pitfalls and solutions that came of porting Sendmail and BIND to NT. We will cover some of the key differences between NT and UNIX that make porting to NT such a pain. In the process we will reveal the "cool" solutions, stupid tricks and some things we would rather forget we did. What you will come away with an understanding of what to look for and what to avoid when porting to NT.
