Re: Adding an existing child domain to parent domain

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I assume these domains belong to different forests atm?
I'm afraid you need to create child domain manually, and then migrage
migrate all users, computers, groups etc from old domain to newly created
child domain. You can use ADMT v2 or third-party migration tools to automate
migration.
I'm afraid there is no easy way to simly "move" domain from one forest to
another.
