I worked on a project were we deployed just over 1000 new Domain Controllers alone (let alone all the other types of servers)

I have ~200 servers at any given point in time. (With VMWare, that number is always fluctuating.) No Shook, the segmentation is not done on subnet boundaries. Not for a lack of trying on our part, but the Network guys have been rather resistant to making that change, so we do what we can, with what we've got.

Yeech (unless you have <30 systems) The segmentation you use is how we have our DHCP set up - a range for servers, another for each floor in our building. We have so much server churn here manual IP is simply impractical - I have built probably 20 servers and repurposed (re-imaged) another 20-30 in the last 12 months. If I can get SCCM/BDD enough of a priority then I'd be sittin' pretty (err, handsome-er). I just hate having to KVM to each machine to change an IP setting, I'd just as soon do it from a single MMC, but if it's working for you, I can't 'dis' it!

Static assigned at the server. I have my network IP's carved up into nice little segments with a specific IP ranges for servers, workstations and printers. Workstations get DHCP, printers get DHCP reservations, servers get their own range of IP addresses statically assigned to them. None of them overlap. Actually, in my server IP range it is even further segmented to Production servers, Development and Test, and each of those environments is further segmented into physical or virutal ,and then there is the DMZ...... Say, that sounds a little bit like network segmentation........ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
