DHCP Scope Activation / Deactivation

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

My company was purchased and we are trying to migrate our domain
(Xdomain) computers to their domain (Ydomain). There is currently a
domain trust relationship set up, but we are trying to eliminate
Xdomain. We are still running two DC's for Xdomain, one that services
DHCP and DNS requests and the other as a secondary DNS server and
backup DHCP.

A new server was purchased to be brought up as DC (YdomainDC) on
Ydomain at my site. My plan is to configure YdomainDC as a DHCP and
DNS server, but not activate the DHCP scopes yet. My company has 14
branches on different subnets. I was going to proceed one branch at a
time by pulling the branch computers out of Xdomain and joining them to
Ydomain. Next, I would deactivate the branches DHCP scope on XdomainDC
and activate on YdomainDC.

Is there any reason why this wouldn't work.

NOTE: Running Windows Server 2003 Std.

Thanks!
