Hello Mark,
Jerry's post describes part of what is described in Jeff Middleton's
Swingit! Kit which I recommend, but leaves out the part where you will have
to seize FSMO roles on your new Win2K DC (in the new network).
The common idea is that if you retain your AD in both networks, your
workstations should automatically be able to authenticate without having to
rejoin a domain.
