I have some other ideea:
1.Create a new domain in a new tree common.local (but in the same forest as
company1.local)
2.Create the child domains company1.common.local & acmeco.common.local.
3.Move the resources to the new domains (don't forget about ADMT).
4.Get rid of the old domain/tree.
This is just the big picture.

Hi.
Im confronted to a weird/complex AD change.
We have an AD Windows 2000 domain, say it's called company1.local, with
an Exchange 2000 server for our emails.
This AD domain groups 2 OUs for 2 different businesses; company1 and
acmeco.
For internal reasons, we need to seperate the 2 OU within this one
single domain, create one new root domain and 2 subdomains.
Something like this :
from company1.local to
company1.common.local and acmeco.common.local.
but this implies that I also need to change the AD domain name from
company1.local to say, common.local, and have the new subdomains be
called company1.common.local.
Now what I'd like to know is if the following is possible:
- Creating the new temporary AD domain, say temp.local, export all
users, schema info, Exchange mailboxes, etc, from company1.local to
this new temp.local domain and create a bidirectional trust
relationship between the 2.
- Then demote the AD servers from the old company1.local domain.
- Create the new common.local domain.
- On another server, create company1.common.local and on another server
create acmeco.common.local.
- Copy back AD info and Exchange mailboxes back from the temp.local
domain into the newly created company1.common.local subdomain.
From there, move the corresponding users to the second subdomain, as
necessary.
Is such a scenario even remotely posible? Main concern is to maintain
Exchange mailboxes and user accounts.
The above might be unclear, if you've got questions on the scenario I
tried to explain, please do ask me.
Thanks and cheers.
