Someone just challenged me on the assertion I've been making for
ages that Jet is used as the data store for Active Directory, and
cited a quote that says it's the format of a variant of the Jet Blue
engine (i.e., the one used in Exchange) rather than the Jet Red
engine (our beloved Jet) that the AD data store is in. This raises
the question of why the Windows development team took over
responsibility for Jet 4 after the release of Access 2000 if it's
not Jet 4 that's being used for AD's data store.
Some googling about produced a reference to a Jet Blue-ISAM,
suggesting that perhaps the Jet Red engine is used for access to a
Jet Red data store using that ISAM.
Can anyone confirm/deny this? Or provide any pointers to some
documentation of what's going on? My reputation on StackOverflow.com
might be in the balance!
