I use a verbose naming scheme, which a lot of people hate, but I love... DLs go with
ZwwExDL-GroupName - WorldWide groups, which only contain DLs ZauExDL-GroupName - two letter country code groups, which may contain other DLs or names ZukExDL-GroupName ZusEXDL-GroupName Permissions go with something like this: ZauServerShareDirectoryPath-[RO|RW] - read-only or read-write permissions on a share/directory, never more than two directories deeper than the share. or ZusServerFunctionalGroupName - for SQL or other application servers which might need embedded permissions. Mind you - since we're still new to AD, and working in a converted NT4 environment, I haven't completed all of this, but that's where I'm headed. The Z is to sort the groups to the bottom of the lists, the two-letter country codes are obvious, as I hope the rest of it is too.
