W2K Migration Planning

[mantislee]

All,

I was looking for opinions on the following issues regarding Windows 2000 migration from NT4 to a company that will eventually be international. My main concern is missing an aspect of W2K Active Directory that the comany will need in the future and being forced to rebuild servers. Any opinions are greatly appriciated.

1. What types of performance concerns are there when making a detailed AD structure. Better said how many levels of hte AD structure should an interanational company have w/o seriously effecting perfomace.

2. We have the option now to include the country in the top container (so we can have us.company.com or au.company.com, etc). Does having the country effect performance any....are there any other reasons why country should be left out in this situation?

Thanks,
