Tag synonym suggestion: [windows-domain] -> [active-directory]

Question

I noticed a question that was heavily concerned with Active Directory that did not have the active-directory tag but rather used the windows-domain tag. As of this moment there are 382 questions tagged with windows-domain and 2,361 with active directory.

I've proposed a tag synonym from windows-domain to active-directory.

Is there ever a time when the concept of a domain within active directory should be tagged separately from active-directory? And if so, wouldn't it be better to keep the tag symmetry by naming it active-directory-domain which would leave open the possibility of active-directory-forrest and active-directory-site?

EDIT 1: NT Domains

As John Gardeniers points out in the comments, NT4 domains are likely to still exist even in 2012, and that is not Active Directory.

New Suggest: All NT4 domain related posts should be tagged with something that clarifies that it's NT4. How about nt4-domain? Of course, this then means that the windows-domain posts would need to be winnowed for which ones are referring to NT4 and which are truly referring to AD.

Answer 1

Taking a look at the newest 50 questions with the windows-domain tag, they are all about AD domains with the exception of this one, which is about Samba.

While there surely would be cases where a question only concerns the actual directory service (e.g. something about the schema, an object type or an attribute value) most questions are the much broader case of want-to-get-things-done-with-my-Windows-Server-no-matter-how.

I am not sure about the actual tagging policy at Serverfault (does each and every corner case get an own tag?), but I think a merger would not hurt as the merged tag still would fulfil the general purpose of grouping similar questions with the added benefit of more eyes reading them (active-directory has way more followers).
