Here is my situation.
One top level domain: alpha.com
3 child domains:
beta.alpha.com
gamma.alpha.com
delta.alpha.com
Currently have 42 sites in a Metro network. Top level domain and all
3 child domains have a presence in all 42 sites. I.e. users for each
domain at each site.
Root domain alpha.com is Windows server 2003.
Child domains are some Windows server 2000 and 2003 mixed.
Running in mixed mode.
Do I need a DC for each domain at each site? or can a DC from the top
level domain handle authentication for the child domains?
I will be setting these DC's up for fault tolerance during network
outtages, and would prefer to deploy one DC for each site rather than
3 at each site.
Any tips are much appreciated.
Thank you.
Will Smith.
