Windows 2000 Active Directory Design

I was involved in the derivation of Active Directory design issues for securing the Active Directory design for AD in Data centres. The design finished with the offering of a shared AD infrastructure design, whereby the hosted customers opt for the AD to be managed by the company, with to adherance to the company shared naming standards with the top level of the AD hosted in a DMZ for each data centre and various types in integration to other application blocks in the data centres. This raised issues of secure configuration and communication / tunnelling of insecure Windows protocols between several designs of bridgehead server infrastructures.
