Re: Empty Root Domain required?

you cannot CUT and PASTE a domain in a forest to another forest. For that
you will need to migrate. Answer would also be that the empty root domain in
your case is a waste of resources

Hello
I want to setup a new AD (Win2k3) for my subsidiary company. We are
autonomous from the our overseas parent company, and the parent company
does
not have a "global AD structure" at this point. I was proposing to create
an
empty root domain in my new local forest, and then have my "production
domain" as a child domain off the empty root domain. If, in the future,
the
parent company created a new global AD that we, as a subsidiary needed to
be
part of, I thought I could "cross-migrate" my child production domain
straight into the parent "global AD forest" off their root domain. Is this
a
good idea, or is the empty child domain in my local forest simply a waste
of
resources?
