MIgration Question

Due to acquisitions/merger I am looking for the options to see how to join
our domain to our parent company’s forest. We have windows 2000 domain with
two domain controllers, 1 exchange 2000 server, SQL 2000, and Windows 2000
NAS server for file server. We have a two way trust set up at this time with
our parent company.

We also have other sister companies which will be joining the parent
company’s forest . They are also windows 2000 domain and similar set up as
ours. We also have external trust set up with the sister companies for
resource sharing.

All domains needs to be able to keep their own group policy etc., when we
join our parent company’s forest.

What will be best way to accomplish this? Should we move each domain to
windows 2003 domain and use AD renaming tool? How is ADMT2 will play out in
this scenario? Please give me some guidance.
