I currently have a domain "xyz.com". Our two dozen admin, finance, and
sales types are getting tired of seeing their user lists, E2K recipient
lists, etc... populated with 10,000 test users, so I want to put up a second
domain for our developers to use. I want "xyz.com" users to not be bothered
by (or even see) "dev.xyz.com" users, but I would liske for users
authenticating against "dev.xyz.com" to be able to use and get to "xyz.com"
resources. Or, is it better to set up a separate "xyzdev.com" forest, and
establish trust?

How do I do this?

Thanks,
- Dan
 
I would setup a separate forest for the developers. It's much cleaner and it
will be a security boundary between the prod and dev environments. Then
establish a trust between the domains so they will be able to use the
resources they might need.

Just my 2 cents...
