<me asks stupid question>
You guys really do a separate server for a/v 'and' WSUS? WSUS doesn't
take that much juice, does need IIS and msde..but still... most folks on
the WSUS patch management listserve at least aren't putting it on that
beefy of hardware anyway. Also these days unless you are running without
local admin rights on those workstations...where's your anti spyware
server since you are separating things out like that.
Don't you guys want a front end/back end Exchange if you are going to
start building that many boxes?
TS box?
SQL?
Sharepoint? [plain old file and printer sharing is soooo last year]
And lets see...three locations in Hurricane target zones, one in
Earthquake zones, not quite sure about the risk factors for Atlanta and
Vancouver. That should be fun :-)

*Subject:* [ActiveDir] Geographic Domain Setup
Hello Everyone.
The company that I work for has been divided into two isolated parts.
As a result the corporate domain that is used will also need to be
divided. The employees of the old domain will remain in their place
while others will be put into a new domain. One domain will have
nothing to do with the other. I have been tasked with heading the
creation of a new domain that will be used in different geographic
locations;
1. Atlanta, Georgia
2. Miami, Florida
3. Orlando, Florida
4. Houston, Texas
5. Fremont, California
6. Vancouver, Canada
I have built a domain before but this was for one office of less than
100 employees. This domain is of a much larger scale and more complex.
I have read a few MSFT articles and have a little bit of information
as to what I am getting myself into. I was hoping that I would be able
to get more information from the community in hopes of getting real
life experience knowledge than a document that outlines best practices.
When I built the single site domain I had the below configuration that
worked very well for me. I think that I am going to create a similar
if not exact root domain. I think that I would am having more problems
with considering the geographic issues that I will be facing.
2 Domain Controllers
Both DNS Servers
FSMO roles divided
Both Global Catalogs
1 File Server
Roaming Profiles
Centralized Storage for User Files
1 Anti-Virus Server
1 WSUS Server
1 Exchange Server
Thank you all for your replies,
Edwin
