The problem is that they are completely separate networks that have no link
except via VPN. Thus, 2 completely separate Active Directory
implementations. Then, I believe 2 separate forests and thus 2 separate
root names?

If you are sure you need two forests, they cannot share a common root name. Two forests, by definition, do not share security or contiguous namespace. Maybe you mean two trees in a single forest? Then you have different namespaces for each tree. How about adm.harper.edu and lab.harper.edu as domain names? If you "want Active Directory to manage both areas," why not use a single domain with separate OUs?

We are an educational institution that is considering a physical zoning of Lab's and Administrative domains. We want Active Directory to manage both areas. I understand we need to AD implementations and thus 2 forests. But, can they both have the same root DNS domain name (ie. xxxx.edu)? Or, do they need different DNS domain names (ie. xxxxadm.edu and xxxxlab.edu)?
BTW: this could be either Windows 2000 or 2003.
Thanks for any input.
