Guys Hope you can help We have at the moment a single domain in the uk called abc.local, we have just taken over a Canadian Company who have no domain structure. We are going to create a sub domain caled ca.abc.local for the Canadian company(the CA IT manager wants his own sub domain which is OK due to time zones, admin etc). We have an exchange organisation in the UK and will add exchange servers in the Canadian domain. my questions are: 1. do subdomains use the same DNS as the parent doamin (canadian exchange servers need to see UK servers)?. 2. the exchange servers in the sub domain will still be in the same exchange organisation?. 3.will there be two administrator accounts in each domain (obviously i think)?. Thanks in advance

You can delegate the sub-domain to the Canadian DNS servers. > 2. the exchange servers in the sub domain will still be in the same > exchange > organisation?. Exchange Organizations span the entire AD Forest. If both domains are in the same AD Forest, they will be in the same Exchange Org. > 3.will there be two administrator accounts in each domain (obviously i > think)?. - For AD: The sub-domain will have an Administrator account with Domain Admin privileges. - You will need to run /DomainPrep in that domain before installing Exchange, and also create a Recipient Update Service (RUS) and point to a DC in that domain. - For Exchange Administrator: You can create a new Administrative Group and choose it when installing the new server. This will isolate management. You can delegate administration of the Admin Group. Alternatively, you can use split permissions model if you need granular control/delegation.
