> 
> I have a client with a number of Cisco CallManager servers, using MS
> Windows 2000 Server as the underlying operating system.
>
> Should these servers be configured as stand-alone servers or as
> members of a domain?  I can see advantages to domain membership, by
> enforcing common security policies for the call managers.
>
> I suspect that the CallManagers should be placed in an
> independent domain, not part of the overall organizational
> forest.  This is a recommendation for Windows servers in a DMZ,
> and I imagine that isolating VoIP servers from the data network
> would require this as well.
>
> Are there reasons for placing CallManager servers in an
> organizational domain (email integration?)?  Are there arguments for
> making a separate CallManager domain that is part of an overall
> organizational forest?
