MICROSOFT NT ENTERPRISE DESIGN
Microsoft NT Servers versus Domain Controllers
When constructing an enterprise solution advantages
and disadvantages of implementing domain controllers as file, print,
and application servers should be considered. It is important to
remember that local groups on an NT server or resource domain
controller can contain users and global groups from the master
domains. By installing many NT servers as resource domain
controllers, adding a master domain user or global group to the
resource domain local group affects all resource file servers
simultaneously. This simplifies setup and administration of the
resource file servers. The drawback of having every server as a
resource domain controller requires continuous connections to
controllers in the Domains that are trusted by this resource domain.
If special or separate security is required, the file or application
server can be installed as an NT Server instea d of a resource
domain controller, so that the file server's local groups are
specific to that server and special permissioning can be applied.
