If there was one "right" way to do the things you are asking about then there would be no settings to change our group policies. Entire books have been written about the subjects you've brought up. It is simply impossible to condense that knowledge into a response here. And the authors' out those books would black ball me for it.

Haha... Thank you Cliff,

Then could i come back with one by one..??
1. Use something.company.com (any subdomain of a top level domain) as your domain name. You don't want to change this later it's a huge pita.

2. Have at least two domain controllers, and at least one of them offsite and/or in the cloud. Don't back them up its bad to restore them.
Dear Aaron,

Thank you for you suggestion. As i tried to replicate a additional domain controller at offsite leads to terrible disaster once due to improper syncing, dfs error.. I dont know.. whole thing went crap.

After spending some nights at office made things back into track again.

One more thing i am still in very doubtful that implementing domain controller.

Is it wise to deploy domain controller in virtual. Considering that domain controller hosting into baremetal seems not economic.

Please advice me.

Thank you.
