Should work with both, BP uses SSPI (windows authentication).

Not at this time, but probably in future yes. At the moment we’re busy adding other tweaks that you’ll see daily, compared to the progress you’ll really only see once during the install…

Some customers may want to manage computers across domains on a single server. So, supposing you have MyNewDomain and MyOldDomain, you install the server into MyNewDomain but you want to manage computers in MyOldDomain as well, there is a way to achieve this.

Currently we are aiming at providing the maximum possible protection for the user. To make management simpler for the target user, we chose to hide these features and go with default installation of the client. You may remove these features by doing manual install or uninstall on the client computer if you wish.

See the above…

Not with BP, firewall will be part of BPP.

Re-install new packages over existing installation at least for the first release. The update itself will be quite fast. Technically, it’s really only stopping the services, changing the binaries and starting the services again, nothing more to it (mirror is already downloaded, network is discovered, …)
