Interesting idea.... I would think that trust isn't so much of an issue as configuration management. If you have 20 people link their 100 servers into a couple of AD forests (for instance), how do you make sure no one reconfigures the replication topology right when you're in the middle of testing out some site-specific GPO?
-g -----Original Message----- From: Cary, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 10:33 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [ActiveDir] Home Labs Interconnected I wanted to pose this idea to the group and get some feedback. Resources at work are limited for a test lab and I only have 3 computers at home for a lab, and I would think at least some of you are in similar situations. The home lab is ok for some stuff but I find it's hard to put a real world slant on such a small network. Would it be plausible to get several IT people, that haven't really met just interacted online (such as this list), to connect there home labs over the Internet creating a larger lab environment. This would create many different sites and subnets, something hard to do in a standalone home lab with limited hardware. I see the biggest issue would be with security and trust, could this be overcome? Could this experiment succeed or would some people always be trying to trash everyone else's computers?
