| Jason, thanks for your prompt answer. And yes, the information helps a
lot!
| I understood these points and agreed that it´s better (and, in this
case,
| necessary) to start a new domain. But, as I already have a new AD domain,
I
| think that it will be less complicated to start the migration process.
|
| Thanks again!
