The statement... "So protect those domain controllers! No, they don't
store your company secrets; yes, they're pretty much just plumbing in
your network"
wanna make a bet? ...certainly not exactly in SBSland ... we kinda have
the kitchen sink up there. And to me... those passwords are a pretty
important part of my company's secrets. And whether you are SBS where
we have a schrub or the Sierra National Forest of Domains...isn't that
still important?
At the same time...there's times as much as I'm thinking I'm insane for
all on one box, I know that I sure pay attention to that one box...
There's something to be said about having less things to look at.
<insane comments feel free to disregard>
There was either a History channel or a PBS show on a famous battle back
ages and ages ago (sorry..forget the King but I think it was England and
France) and when the army stayed together in a clump and attacked as a
clump the smaller army was actually holding their own and making an
impact. When they army spread out and broke rank and started to run
after the attackers and thus opened up a entry point.... anyway you get
my drift.
The Art of War says:
If he prepares to defend many places, then the forces will be few in
number.
Therefore, if he prepares to defend the front, the back will be weak.
If he prepares to defend the back, the front will be weak.
If he prepares to defend the left, the right will be weak.
If he prepares to defend the right, the left will be weak.
If he prepares to defend everywhere, everywhere will be weak.
There's an implied thought to that blog...and maybe it's just me in
reading that undercurrent in seeing what has happened in my world and in
my sister's larger implementations. Consultants cannot know your firm
like you do. And they don't always get the right people at the table to
talk to. The bosses listen to the consultants and sales folks when they
should be listening to the people who work at the firm and getting their
input.

The suggestion that we all deploy multiple forests as a way of lessening
the risk is a bit of a 'cop out' :)
That sounds as though he's suggesting the only way to secure the
environment is to spread it more thinly across more and more forests!
The more forests I deploy, the more cost I incur to the business. The
more costs I incur to the business, the more awkward questions I receive
asking why we don't consider other offerings in the NOS space :)
Perhaps I'm too cynical on Monday mornings :)
