RE: Interforest domain restructure

Thanks Vincent.
Have already downloaded an perused the article you mention, along with most
of the other information in this general TechNet area. Lots of stuff on how
to do the migration, how to plan it etc., but I have not found anything on
how "contained" or "safe" the procedure is. I want to have details on what is
allowed to migrate between the forests, and what is not. This will give me
confidence that I am leaving the problems behind in the old (source) domain.

We are currently Windows Server 2003 AD. For various reasons, including
some
problems with AD schema (we ran a Cisco procedure which wrote
overlapping
entries on our schema - took ages to fix it), phantom and lingering
objects
and Group Policy problems, we have decided to create a pristine Windows
2003
domain in a new forest. I know we can use ADMT to move users, security
groups, SIDs etc. I am concerned that we might "pollute" the new clean
domain
with odds and sods from the old one, which would negate the benefits of
the
migration. Can anyone give me a definitive on exactly what comes over in
the
migration? Will I be able to leave the GP and schema issues behind in the
old
domain - effectively "shedding our skin?"
