Active Directory on Windows Server 2003 radically improves the large forest
replication model over Windows 2000.
That KB would not necessarily apply to Windows 2003. The KCC is vastly
improved for replication topology. Have you read up on the 2003
capabilities yet? You'll see some documents at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/TechRef/a860fc4d-ca3c-4d03-b83b-74147dcfc0d9.mspx
I'm sure there's a document that outlines the changes in KCC somewhere, but
I'm not seeing it at the moment. Maybe somebody else can post it?
Out of curiosity, why 70 domains? What's the point of that? Politics?
The biggest issue here, as you're likely aware, is that you'll have to
completely change the mindset that the organization is currently operating
under. Once you go to a new AD infrastructure, you'll really want to be
careful of the way it's managed, how it supports applications, and most
importantly how quickly you can recover from issues ranging from minor to
massive failures. A 70 domain infrastructure doesn't lend itself well to
recovery IMHO and offers very little benefit over other models with far
fewer domains. Certainly nothing about administration. If you have a
chance, revisit the domain model and see if you can't whittle that away to
1-5 domains (maximum) which would give you far simpler control and process
requirements at a cost of changing the way people do their current business.
I would heavily argue that to do otherwise will put the long term usability
and supportability at risk in any organization with that kind of structure.
I've seen it too many times ;)
