Hi,
For the vendor proposing the configuration, you make more money ;-)
If you're a big enough site I guess 2 more servers isn't such a big deal,
and there's always vmware.
It does mean that if you screw up bigtime you still have a way to recover.
However Microsoft also have additional tools for win2k3 that allow you to
reset the default domain policy to defaults etc so the risks of not being
able to "fix" your AD have reduced significantly.
Would I still do it?
Depends. It's insurance, but it'll cost you 2 server licenses and 2 servers.
Regards,
Rick

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.
