When to use a Domain

Post by CBucke » Thu, 05 Jul 2001 22:20:48



Hello guys, I am wondering, could someone give me some
technical insite as to when you would seperate your
network into different domains....

What are for example the factors which push an admin
towards a multiple domain environment?

My understanding is to logically group network resources?
But that I dare say is a very low level
understanding...Can someone please elaborate for me.

Thanks a bunch guy

If there is a need for a group or various groups to administer
themselves, separate Domains may be called for.  For example, if you
don't want a Domain Admin to be able to administer another group.  If
that's not a concern, a single Domain should be sufficient and you can
just create OU's for various regions/departments/etc, and delegate
appropriately.

Another reason to create multiple Domains might be for replication
concerns.

You may want to go to MS's online Technet site
(www.microsoft.com/technet) and read through the chapters on 2000
Domains.
