Hello All,
This summer we will be moving our internal domain over to a new name and wanted to ask for thoughts on best naming practices?
The domain name we currently have is already used in three places, on our internal windows network, our internal open directory network for MACs, which these two domains are not connected, and it is also our external name, I inherited this situation, not the initial cause of the situation. In the process we will be installing three new Windows Server DCs running 2012 and the MACs will be bound to Active Directory instead of Open Directory.
All previous Windows DCs and Open Directory DCs will be either demoted from Domain Controller duties or shutdown.
Would it be best to use a registered domain, such as "mydomain.org" for an internal domain, or just make something up such as "mydomain.ad" for the internal...
