Hi,



In the Active Directory 2003 deployment guide says that, form manageability reasons, it's not recommended to create more than 10 domains in a forest. 



But, is there any limit? can it be a problem (other than administering issues) if I have a forest with 500 domains (only one global catalog, the root domain controller)? Wich kind of problems?



Thanks in advance.

Does anybody knows the answer to this question, please?



Thanks.

I can't think of a good reason for having 500 Domains in a forest. Can

you? The recommendation is to have as few Domains as possible,

preferably only one, in an organisation.



If I did have more than a few Domains, I'd definitely have a number of

global catalogs, at least one per Domain.



Cheers,



Cliff

These twin-CPU hyperthreading computers are really

great! We can wait ten to a hundred times faster

these days.

The maximum number of domains is:  The lowest number you need to maintain

security and political integrity in your organization.  (You only add a

domain when you *have* to define a different Domain Security Policy.)



And, NO...  You can't have just one GC.  You need at least one per domain.
