Title: Using non-standard TLDs within Active Directory

neil,   In a re-design we are moving away from using our existing COM TLD, and moving to a CORP TLD.   IE -   COMPANY.COM is now COMPANY.CORP for the internal Forest name and DNS zone.   There are issues with having COMPANY.COM internal and external from a DNS routing perspective, so we want to remove any possibly assumption that they are the same thing.   Thanks,   Jef ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 4:19 AM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Using non-standard TLDs within Active Directory Thanks Peter.   Are we referring to same thing?   I refer to the suffix at the end of the DNS name - e.g. I refer to 'blob' in 'neil.blob'.   I am not referring to the 'neil' part.   Does your response still hold?     neil From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Johnson Sent: 21 July 2006 09:56 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Using non-standard TLDs within Active Directory I’ve always gone the opposite way. I like the idea of using a completely non-standard TLD for my forest root so that if the company name changes etc it has no effect on the forest. It also enables you to split the internal DNS from the external DNS structure. If the internal DNS structure is ever published to the Internet it will simply be dropped.   I always set mine up with non-standard TLD’s and have never had any issues.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 21 July 2006 10:20 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Using non-standard TLDs within Active Directory   Does anyone have experience or comments regarding the use of non-standard TLDs within a production AD forest? E.g. xxxxx.nom The name will be used within a production environment - a separate forest will exist for testing and QA. I've always preferred to use standard TLDs in prod [so the name can be registered etc] and permit the non-standard TLD in test forests only. Any comments?
