RE: Putting 2003 servers on the domain



Depends on what these servers are doing. If the engineer can join the servers
to the domain, then they must have some Admin rights. I don't know if I would
go as far as creating a subdomain, however I would definately consider
assigning the servers to a OU and restrict using Group Policy.
