Hi Ryan,
Thanks for answering. Let´s go!
The child domains already exist. They are different part of my organization,
so the different domains were created for administration purposes, i think.
(i was not here when it was created)
My first idea was to create one site to each child domain, because it
identifies the physycal structure of my network and control the traffic
logon. is this correct?
do you think that is not necessary to create a site for these child domains?
If i create the sites in AD for each domain (including the parent domain) do
i have to create a GC in each site?
An important information is that my exchange server is on the root
domain....and the users from child domains also have mailbox in the root
domain.
Do the DC´s in the child domains replicate with global catalog? The GC have
part of the read only copy of each domain partition, i think.
Other thing that i will have to do is to change the root domain to Native
Mode. is it necessary to change the child domains to native mode?
We need to change the root domain to native mode because of exchange server
2000 and universal groups, but i dont see any need to change to native mode
in the child domains.
I hope my ideas can be alittle bit clear now. Hope hear from you soon.
Thanks a lot for helping.
Maurit.
