As I found out, Likewise Software has produced two products, the free Likewise Open and the commercial Likewise Enterprise, both of which provide much more than just a centralized repository for accounts. I wrote a review of Likewise Open, but I don't have enough experience with Active Directory to really do Likewise Enterprise justice. If you've been trying for a long time to integrate the Linux and Windows worlds, this is the easiest way to do it."

We're geographically dispersed, and most of the users who need to connect to servers are not technical (if that matters). We used to use theme-based naming schemes, but we've been migrating to a more utilitarian system. I think it's clearer and more concise, but I've had some feedback from users who didn't find it understandable. What do you use for your internal DNS schemes? How big is your network, and what do you recommend for future expansion? Does it matter to your users at all?"
