The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Shifting AD structure - We will no longer have our own domain

Asked by santaspores1 in .Net Application Servers, Windows 2003 Server, Network Management

Tags: AD structure

Situation: I am part of a large organization with many departments. Because the organization was slow to adopt Windows Server technology and AD structures, I have always administered our department through a separate Windows server (currently 2003) configured as a separate domain under a separate forest. Now my organization has started to develop its own AD structure and it wants any and all departmental servers to be in a single domain, and for all users to log into a single domain. We are not even going to be represented as a separate domain in the forest. My user (which will now be a part of the single domain) will be given rights to the user accounts that represent our department. I have a new machine to act as our server, so I will be setting it up without disrupting current services.

Question: Most of the services that I provide to my department are in the form of ASP.NET web applications that report on data from SQL server databases on our server and Oracle databases running on other servers. If our server is just another server under the oranizations single domain, and if our users are logging in to the organizations single primary login DC, and if our server is not providing DNS to our users etc. etc. Will there be any adverse affects regarding my being able to provide the services I mentioned? I have never administered a Windows 2003 server that wasnt providing DNS.
