This talk will outline some of the challenges to overcome when installing PostgreSQL in a Windows enterprise environment. Examples include mass-deployment, Active Directory integration for authentication and authorization, data exchange with existing systems. Both deploying the Windows version of the PostgreSQL server and integrating a Linux/Unix PostgreSQL in the existing infrastructures will be covered.
