1. You have to know what do you want to do!
2. Look on the internet for alternatives. AD can be as well implemented by MS Windows and Linux/Samba or OSX... And OSX is pretty.
3. Get a good supplier for equipment. It is mandatory to have a serious supplier that offers enough guaranties and makes the deliveries in time. Use the best possible equipment
4. Make a list with all the activities you want in the network and plan the network accordingly. Create separate and autonomuos subnets for each activity. Use VLANS. Keep in mind that more services as VoIP or IM will be added. Use FAST backbones.
5. Standardize the solutions together with the end users and do it in the begenning. For example choose the mailer, webserver, bugtracker, groupware as soon as you can do it. Argument your case well if you have some ideeas in mind.
6. Document the net. Use a wiki.
7. Delegate some tasks to trustable people. It is priceless when you have a large campus... Or you can buy a bike :)
8. Use caching proxies!
9. Use good backup tools.
10. Keep users isolated. Especially foreiners and visitors. Use DHCP.
