There is no way I would attempt to have each school a separate domain. You would have an administrative nightmare. You would need to have at least 27 domain controllers. Ideally you would have at least two for each domain for redundancy so that would mean 54 DC's. I would use OU's.

We have 24 Schools 1 Main office, 1 Maintenance shop, 1 Bus Garage. would it be best for use to roll out a single domain or 27 domains in our forest. it is not important for our users to be able to go to other locations and log into the system. It would be nice to be able to replicate a folder with all the schools that contains programs you never have when you need them (i.e. Adobe). I haven't got a clear understanding of Domains vs. OUs. One way I read it would be best for each school to be a domain and in another reading I think that each school just needs to be their own OU. any help would be greatly appreciated Eddie List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/ List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
