Here at Indiana University, we have a single domain architecture. Things become confusing if a standard naming convention is not used. We use various things to separate one machine/group/OU from others. What it comes down to is a hyphen-delimited name for each object.
For example, we would have something like this (using something more generic as to not give any information I am not supposed to): B1A-DEV-Computer1 Building 1A, Development group, then Computer name or B1C-PUR-Users Building 1C, Purchasing, then the Group name Hope that explains how we do things. This way, all 100,000 objects in our single domain (or however many there are) are all unique without many issues.
