I think both should be considered together. Example.net will be at the top (empty forest root) and ad.example.net will be the production child domain where you have all the user accounts and resources. Makes it easier when it comes time for aquisition/merger/spin-off/political and diplomatic empire building, IMO. As for one being "better" than the other, it's a matter of taste. HTH Sincerely,

I am wondering if there is a preferred location for the first (AKA root) domain in a AD forest given these parameters. Company name is example and they have a Internet presence at example.com. They have registered example.net for there AD DNS structure. example.net will never be resolvable in the public namespace. Is there any reason why one of these options is better than the other? 1) example.net 2) ad.example.net Thanks, The information contained in this message is confidential and is intended for the addressee(s) only.
