Empty roots can be good for different reasons. If you require an
administrative boundary of some type (like between domains) then an
empty root provides you with a name holder and location for the forest
schema and FSMO roles. If you are a small single domain environment with
no plans in the future of creating more domains (like through
acquisition) then there may be no need. In larger corporate environments
it is good from an administrative standpoint.

I have never been the one for an empty root domain, but if you have
multiple
child domains, it could make sense from a naming convention standpoint.
IF
you are going to design a single domain (which I don't know why, except
when
autonomy is in question).

Subject: [THIN] OT: AD design question
Hi all,
Quick question on AD Design. Given the Windows 2003 improves AD, is it
still considered good practice to use and empty root domain? If so,
why?
What are some of the drawbacks to empty root?
I am in the process of coming up with a few design ideas for an AD
project
and need to know pros/cons. I'm having trouble with the empty root
concept.
While I understand it and its functionality (to a point), I am not sure
if
it is needed when using Win2003.
