Eli
Thanks for the info.
However, I cant understand that by just adding the servers to a new domain
that this could cause issues with our SharePoint environment.
The installation is not being moved to different servers, just the servers
being moved to a new domain.
However, that is why i am posting these messages to get feedback on any
issues.
I take Ted's point that it would probably best to test this scenario in a
teest environment.
Any more help very much appreciated.
