Just as a note, I haven't had any issues and am fine with Lion server.

I am planning to stay with Snow Leopard server as long as I can and then move to a Linux server. Of course, you can always install open source tools (if they don't conflict with Apple's setup) and control from the command line but that misses the point. > > Even the upgrade to Lion client on my laptop is affecting the administration of Snow Leopard Server on our server. The Lion OS X Server Admin tools do not work fully with Snow Leopard Server :-( The best option now is to screen share into the server and run the Snow Leopard Server Admin tools on the server itself (hopefully they will fix these issues). > > It seems Lion Server is a new product, should probably have a new name, and is still under development.
