Two good uses of domains: - to get different default management classes for different nodes - to delegate policy administration to different administrators for different nodes.

IMHO, domains are just there for your use in any sort of logical separation you wish to perform... We use them to differ between UNIX-SAP, UNIX-non-SAP, NT, DOMINO, LNOTES, ADSM (other adsm servers), etc... That has fit our needs... If you have different service levels for the different clients, you may want to use different domains to represent the different service levels...(hot, warm, cold; gold, silver, bronze; daily, weekly, monthly; etc...) This is one reason why I like TSM so much, you may customize it to fit your needs. it provides for virtually unlimited means to isolate/model/manage your clients... Dwight E.

Is there any reason why I wouldn't create one huge domain and have production, development and QA servers backing up to it? What are the pros and cons of 1 domain vs. many? Thanks in advance.
