Hello,
Thanks for your post.
I understand you want to know the following two questions and I will answer
them separately:
1. In the existing setup both site have their own set of users on their own
domain, I would like the setup with win2003 do I need to create multiple
and forests or one domain with two child domains.
Depends on your real environment, you only can use one forest, whether to
use two trees depends on your existing DNS. If you want to maintain the
original DNS name in these two companies, you need to use two trees.
Otherwise, you can use child/parent domains. If you want to use
maxis.com.my for two domains, you can use child/parent domain.
For the structure of tree and forest, please refer to the following article
and pay more attention to the figure 1.7:
Active Directory Logical Structure

en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/windows/2000/server/reskit/en
-us/distrib/dsbb_act_uzlw.asp
2. What is the best way to migrate to win2003 and exchange 5.5 and we
prefer the migration to be in stages?
First, I want to know if you want to restructure Domain and forest and use
the new server machines. If so, we always use ADMT to migrate to Win2003.
If you want to keep the original structure, I think upgrade is a good
solution.
You need to established two way trust between Dom1 and new Dom3, Between
Dom2 and new Dom4, therefore, you only need to migrate Dom1 to Dom3 and
Dom2 to Dom4 to achieve the goal by using ADMT.
About how to migrate from NT to 2003 by using ADMT, please refer to:
