Re: Domain Controllers

I agree with you on the one domain that spans many sites.

The problem I am having is say lets say abc.com signs up.

abc.com has a guy who goes by Administrator@xxxxxxx as his email address
when he signs up.

However, when he is created ad will balk because AD already has a user
called Administrator.

Now correct me if I am wrong, intead of singing him up with a username of
"Administrator" I could create a new organizaiton called ABC, call him
abcAdministrator and in his profile for default email address call him
Administrator@xxxxxxxx

However in the FTP realm, (next thread I am goign to post is about this) he
could sign in as abcAdministrator.

What do you think of this plan?

what the heck I am going to post the FTP question since I have got you here.

I create a zone called "abc" which deals with abc.com web forwarders and
pointers. A corresponding web site is created in IIS with the headers
necessary to get the user there.

I want to create an FTP site for this domain.

Now I create a host in the zone called FTP which creates ftp.abc.com. IN IIS
I create a virtual directory under the default FTP site using User Isolation
(Active Directory - so as to allow the user to have multiple FTP logins with
their own space).

Unfortuantley the user though I enter the right username and password will
not seem to authenticate. Can you give hints what I am doing wrong?

Also, for their home directory for this FTP account do I:

create a share with this username

Or

in AD make thier home direcctory to be the specified folder.

Again thank you for your help....

You don't want a domain per site. You want one domain that spans many
sites. What is your concern with user names? How many users are we
talking
here?
