I have a small server at home running Windows 2000 Server, I already have a domain and want to add a few more domains running off this server. How do I do this?, DCPROMO, Active Directory? I am confused :confused: Thanks in advance!

what type of "domain"? an internet domain? that's easy, read about using host headers in IIS. go here


an active directory domain? not possible on a single server. an active directory domain requires a domain controller for each domain. you could setup additional domain controllers as child domains of the existing parent domain.
for example:

current domain -- foo.com
new child domain -- big.foo.com

each domain will have to be hosted by separate domain controllers.
