Re: User login between domains in the same tree/frrest

as I just already read in a respons to this thread: you should ask yourself if there are ANY reasons NOT to do this as a starting point, take into consideration: replication (not only AD information, but also Group Policies)
I am always in favor of creating 1 domain unless there are very important reasons to create a second one.

this is exactly what i thought would be the case,

thanks eric!

as we in australia will be providing the administration/support for the IT
requirement for this singapore server, do you think it may be a better option
to just make this a DC for the existing domain?

You always log on to the domain your account is in, so if your account ir in
domain.local you only can log on to that domain, on the other hand, your
MACHINE (i.e.) workstation does not have to be in the same domain, so if you
create an account: jessicarabbit in the SG domain, and try to log on with
this account, you should be able to do so.
You sit behind the workstation, select SG for domain, enter jessicarabbit
for username and the correct password, you should be able to log on.

good luck
