Well, Jeff, I'm dealing with NT40 domain called domain1.blabla.com and AD
domain called domain2.blabla.com. I plan to install AD (additional DC for
domain2) in branch office. In domain1 is exchange 5.5 which I plan to migrate
on newly installed exchange 2003 added to domain2 located in branch office.
Trust between domain1 and domain2 is two-way external.
