Upfront disclaimer: I'm a UNIX guy by design and trade. However, I've been involved with Windows boxes for at least a decade from an operational support/performance tuning perspective.
My company has recently acquired another company, and we're looking into strategies for consolidating Active Directory between the two. We have a site-to-site VPN connection and quick-n-dirty name resolution working between the two sites.
I would appreciate:
- Advice from anyone who's been in the same situation.
- Links to articles describing both high-level considerations and technical details.
- Gotchas, never-dos, I-wish-I-had-knowns, always-dos-but-never-documented.
