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.
