Consider: a) all the applications must be recoded and redeployed at the instant that the target system password is changed to ensure that a synchronization error (outage) does not occur; and b) the frequency of change increases the likelihood of an error.

$4,000/hour is the server downtime cost estimate based on the following typical small business parameters: 50 users at $35/hour burdened rate, 1 server administrator at $65/hour burdened rate, 9 hours/day, 5 days/week, 1 planned 1 hour outage per month, 1 unplanned 4 hour server outage per month, 20 users and 1 administrator affected per outage.
