Naming domain example.com vs ad.example.com
I am building a new domain from scratch. We own our pulic domain anme example.com. and have publicly hosted website by a third party hosting provider at example.com . I am being told the new domain name should be ad.example.com or corp.example.com ( subdomain) . My concern is that I don't want users to use subdomain.example.com\user

I think , I found out what is going on. We have an inix ldap server which is doing the job of Active directory and the domain name there is Example.com .Let's say somehow we figure all this out. Can the netbios name be same as domain when using sub domain i.e ad.example.com ?

my main concern is where the netbios name come into play which I guess is at logon. ( or logon to in xP). We also have some mac computers, but I believe they show the domain name at log on if you join to domain.

Thank you all.
However, do you have another machine on that network where the machine name is Example?
Setting up a new DC, i have never seen that error message.
Personally i would still not use the same internal FQDN as the external.
Will.
