RE: Restructure Domain Plan:

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

Based on your description, I have some questions regarding to your plan.

1. Do you plan to eventually remove win2k old domain? If so, creating a new
forest with win2k3 server would be a good idea. If win2k old domain will
permanently serve in the network, you may consider joining win2k3 new
server in the same forest as win2k old domain is.

2. What is the external user mean? Do you mean those external users which
are located to another physical location whereas their accounts exist in
win2k domain? Do you plan to let those external users still logon to the
win2k old domain?

3. What is the meaning of "How do I make sure that the Citrix box will
authenticate users from the OLDDOMAINNAME but still have access to files on
the file server (dc1.newdomain.private)"? The NT BDC can authenticate with
the external users and those external users can access the file server
(dc1.newdomain.private)"?

4. Is there any particular reason for those external user to authenticate
with BDC instead of the new win2k3 DC?

In addition, this question appears to be more consulting in nature and if
this is an urgent issue, you may consider contacting CSS or advisory
services.
