Just working my way through the 70-297 Active Directory Network Infrastructure MS Press Book and thought it would be good to have a poll!

How many Domains, Trees and Forests do you work with?

Any reasoning behind the choices as well would be good e.g

- 6 Domains due to legacy NT4.0 network
- 2 Domains due to different security requirements on each.
- 2 Forests due to company merger and wanted to keep each companies soverignty
- 4 Domains due to geographics and decentralization of comanies administration.
- 1 Domain keep it simple and roll out the OU's for delegation and administration.

 

Same as wagnerk, nice and simple

 

Mate that sounds crazy!

Did they have a NT4.0 network originally?

 

One forest, four domains. Teo each for the US and Europe (internal domain and a web domain for the DMZ)

Administrative overhead is minimal - provided you use the correct group model everything manages itself.

I've worked with everything from single forest, domain and site structures right up to the most complex setups imaginable - but the current role I have is just about perfect

 

Strange you should mention the rootdomain and internal.rootdomain

In one MS Press Book, the 70-294 if I recall correctly they recommend rootdomain for your web presence and internal.rootdomain for your Infrastrcuture, then in the second breath in the 70-297 they recommend the single domain for both.

From my overall understanding, keep it simple and use the single domain if that works or for extra security requirements go down the rootdomain and internal.rootdomain.

 

One forest and one domain for me. I haven't worked with anything other than that.
