You could use the .fin and/or .biz DNS names without getting into any AD problems. However, you should think about the fact whether or not you want to connect AD to the internet (not now but in the future?). Don't place your bets on renaming your domains in the future using the new domain renaming features in Windows Server 2003. The renaming is a very complex proces which has significant impact on the availability of the infrastructure. If you're sure you only want to use these names internally you can use these extensions without running into problems.

I am considering implementing nb.fin or nb.biz domain name for our new AD structure some time in the very near future. Would such a name have any side affects on AD or DNS? Another question not pertaining to the one above. I know Windows 2003 server has drastically changed its default security structure on its folders and volumes through either ACL or DACL. In my test environment, when I created a home folder and when I created a user through ADUC, I was able to create a user's home folder, but the user security ACL's were not there. Under W2K, when you share the home folder, create a new user, and create a user's home folder, you automatically created in the security tab the user's name along with his ACL. Does anyone know how to do the same thing in Windows 2003 server?
