RE: [ActiveDir] Domain Naming Best Practices

[Morley, Scott]

Title: Message

For the most part admins will be managing the domains, there is always room for confusion if a location is placed in region1 as compared to region2.  We would always be translating the generic name to the geographical one.  Our migration process will be a long one, with over 700 locations to migrate around the world.  So inevitably a mistake will be made and a location will be accidently migrated to the wrong region.

I'm going to ask a fairly simple question: Why does it matter either way?

 

Why does one matter more to you and the other matter more to them?

All,

 

I have been asked by managment to defend my domain naming standard.  I am using geographical locations such as AMER (N&S America), EAME (Europe, Africa, & Middle East), and APAC (Asia Pacific & Australia).  I am being asked why can't we use generic names such as Region1, Region2, and so forth.  I can say all I want, but I need some outside evidence to back me up or if I am totally off base, I'll take some recommendations.

 

Thanks for the anticipated help.
