I work on a dev project that currently has a lab with development and test servers that are networked under the same domain (ideally I would have setup separate domains but I inherited this). I've begun setting up a couple of machines to simulating the field systems/network. My question is this, would it be better at this point to:
a.) Have the three "networks" (all with their own subnet) set up under one domain placing each (development, test, field and subsequent workstations) in it's own OU?
or
b.) Restructure the domain so that the development, test and field networks have their own domains with the development domain being the parent and the test/field being child domains?
Other ideas are welcome. At this point the easy solution seems to just connect the "field" workstations and servers to the current domain and place them in their own OU and separating the test and development into separate OU's as well.
