RE: Best way to incorporate a second domain with ours? Tips? Advic

To clarify: Trust the two domains (forests). Create user accounts for the 25
users in your domain and mailbox-enable them and disable the accounts
afterwards. In the mailbox -rights grant the corresponding external accounts
of the 25 users the permissions "associated external account" and "full
mailbox access" rights. Install Outlook on the 25 computers and configure the
profiles to use your Exchange server. The new 25 users can now very quickly
access the Exchange system and collaborate with others, still logging on to
their legacy domain.
Having this accomplished, you can take your time to transfer the users to
your domain one by one. I can't see the requirement for a real migration
scenario for 25 users. When all environment settings are ready (network,
firewalls, file resources etc.), enable the disabled accounts in your domain
and remove the external accounts from the mailbox rights. Users should now be
able to log on to the new domain and work with their mailboxes as before.

Move the users from the 2K domain into your 2k3 domain. This is by far the
easiest option to administer and the migration should be easy for only 25
users.
For the users in the 2K domain to use your Exhcange server you would have to
create a user account in the 2K3 domain anyway and then give the 2K user
access to this account.

Our department is running AD on Windows Server 2003 with Exchange 2003. We're
going to be absorbing a separate domain soon. They are also running AD,
however they are on Windows 2000 with no Exchange server.
I know this is a broad question, but where's the best place to start? Of
course, we would like the best option with the least amount of headache, but
sometimes that isn't possible.
One major change we would like to implement on the second domain is access
to our Exchange server.
The second domain only has about 25 users / computers.
We don't care if the second domain name is kept or not. We've gone back and
forth on whether or not we just want to migrate all over to our domain and
dissolve theirs or if we can accomplish what we want with some type of trust
system.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
