Re: Naming your AD domain

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



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.

After a long debate and must discussion we're going with company.local as
our internal domain and testcompany.local as we're setting up the pilot.
This is nice and generic for us and doesn't have much chance of clashing
with real .com domains.

Cheers, Rob.
