Okay.. Let me preface by saying that I realize that this sounds very stupid and convoluted but I'm not the one calling the shots.
Right now, we have a NT4 single-master domain (multiple resource domains) model with Exchange5.5. A request has come up to look at the feasability of implementing Ex2k Conference Server without a permenant AD structure. Let me explain.. We are unable to start our own Active Directory forest because we are waiting for the huge Siemens giant to awaken since we will inevitably be a part of their tree. Someone came up with the idea that we can start our own AD and implement Conference Server until Siemens was ready to implement AD. Basically they want to design a throw-away directory. My questions involve is this really even possible to design a "throw-away" directory. I have not done much work with Active directory and I don't know how well this would work. Also, what would happen when Exchange 2000 came down the permenant directory? I'm looking for any input with which I can either proceed researching or any data with which to shut them down. Would it be possible to just throw away the old solution and design a new one on the new directory? I realize that many details are lacking and that my message is a little disjointed. I apologize as I'm trying to sort this out in the confined spaces of my own thoughts. So if you need to know anything, let me know and I'll provide as much information as I can right now.
