Hi there.

We were previously two separate companies that have joined
by acquisition and have implemented a federated forest to
join the domains together.

Within AD we are trying to implement a proper
organisational structure but have run into a problem. We
are trying to set the manager property for each person,
but have a situation where the account for a persons
manager might be in the other domain. In other words,
DomainA\JSmith has a manager of DomainB\FBloggs.

Does anyone know if this is technically possible to
implement?

Regards
