Thanks for the quick reply.

I am still confused. The company I am wanting to merge
is running Active Directory and Exchange 2000. It is the
only Active Directory server in the network. Why would I
have to create a new domain in both domain trees? Also,
if I merge the domain that is also running Exchange 2000
into the other domain, how will this effect Exchange?
Will I have to have the Exchange server join the new
domain?

Thanks,
John
