Why do you need more than one domain


Hmm. Well I may not - I started by saying I know little about AD
The corporate structure is immensely complicated and very large - we are actually completley different companies with individual personalities.

This is further complicated by the fact that the inter-country links are not particularly large, so replication has to be kept down to a minimum.

To make life even more complicated my organisation fits into the middle level of this tree - we have a corporate head office "above" us (who are Win2K AD), we are NT 4.0 and the country in question will come "under" us in terms of responsibility.

Even starting to think about it is giving me a headache.

I think I'll ask them to hold off - it sounds like the corporate head office will need to get a much more detailed structure in place first.
