ADMTv2 is the primary tool for such migrations.

Key points about ADMT:
Admin privileges on both domains, install agent on Source (old) domain,
two-way (external) trusts, external trusts require NetBIOS resolution
which may require WINS server (and all DCs set to use it) if DCs are
not on same subnet, put your Destination Domain Admin account into
the Administrators group of the Source domain.

Talk to the Exchange folks and find out if a forest level or external
trusts would work as well. Maybe you can avoid the migration.
