I was thinking more along the lines of what implications in setting up the DNS would be if the parent and child domains were in the same subnet.
Thanks For the quick answer Michael. Jeremy ________________________________ From: Michael B.

Sites are forest-wide, not tied to a particular domain. 2] You've still gotta upgrade the forest schema to win2008 to support a win2008 DC at any level in the forest. Any other impact is minimal.

We want to keep them seperate in the future, but at the beginning, all the users will still exist in the parent domain. My two questions are 1) what are the implications of having the child domain on the same subnet of the parent domain. The second question is, is there any pros or cons to having the child domain controller server 2008, when every server in the parent domain is still 2003? Any input, advice, is greatly appriciated.
