      Well Microsoft's AAD DS recommendation has changed from aadds.contoso.com to aaddscontoso.com but I don't think they have really said why

        @flaxking That would be for Azure Active Directory not Active Directory.

          @dbeato yes, Azure Active Directory Domain Services. That documentarion changed from aadds.contoso.com to aaddscontoso.com. But since they don't give the reason for the change, it is unclear if the reason applies to both aadds and ad.

          The only reason I know of is so that AD isn't displayed as the domain name in places.

            I think corp.contoso.com makes the most sense if you're doing split-dns. Then it doesn't matter if it's AD or AAD or whatever.

            Microsoft uses it often in their docs as well.

              Is ad.domain.com still in fashion?

              This is what we use.

                @flaxking Well the point was that Jared was making of a local network domain which Azure Active Directory wouldn't have counted but I understand.

                  I wasn't talking about AAD, I was talking about AAD DS.

                    We use ad.domain.tld
                    No need for split DNS this way.

                      I did go with ad.domian.com. Just been so long sent I set one up new, I figured I would run it by everyone.

                      Thanks for the feedback.

                        That is a huge reason.
