When it comes to high-level domain infrastructure, implementation should be surgical.

MS infrastructure is my expertise. My last few jobs I’ve been hired to “clean up” implementations, esp. post-Novell migrations, and I’ve yet to come across a company that does it correctly.

Engineers don’t like to document and scope everything, so the installation usually goes full-default and it’s just a mess. DNS is no exception.

When it comes to high-level domain infrastructure, implementation should be surgical. But most of the time it resembles sausage-making, doesn't it? The lack of documentation is the bane of my existence. Even simple Visio diagrams would be helpful, but I've almost always gotten blank looks when I ask for them.

And yeah, Netware migrations tend to be messy. It's almost better to start from scratch using best practices for a clean implementation.
