Thanks Paul, but I was suggesting more like:
Holding company to be the principal name, and then UPN logons for each
child company, of course you can then use AD administration for each
company using OUs.

If I can elaborate on Jorge's response. UPN Suffixes give you the option
to basically provide alias' to your domain. So if your domain name is
widgets.com and you have a second company named acme and those users
would prefer to use that suffix, then use upn suffixes.

Hi
adding to PAul's response
What about different UPN logns for each.

This may seem trite but maybe not :-) We're planning migration from NT
4 domain to AD on Windows 2003. When our system was originally set-up,
the domain was the name of our company. However we now have three
companies who are separate but share the same IT infrastructure. When
they logon, they have to use our original company name which doesn't
feel right.

We're not big enough to merit separate domains for all three companies
so we're looking for a generic kind of domain name. We've see "GLOBAL"
used several times in larger companies which is okay I guess.

Anyone got any creative suggestions?

They have to be a) generic, b) policitically correct and c) memorable.

Cheers, Rob.
