Root domain name
Setting up a new 2022 server for a business (first server install in a long time!) , just checking the root domain name best practice is still to use a subdomain of the public domain name?
So if the company is abcmechanical.co.uk then root domain london.abcmechanical.co.uk would make sense...?
- Hello,
I suppose that by "Setting up a new 2022 server" you mean a new Active Directory.
In this case, some best practices are :
- 1 domain, 1 forest
- create an Active Directory forest "corp" (or whatever), subdomain of your root DNS domain ("contoso.com"). So full FQDN for AD would be corp.contoso.com
