| Hi All,
We have two Domains.
1) ABC.com
2) XYZ.com
I have been given a task to either Migrate all the
users of XYZ.com to ABC.com or somehow make XYZ.com a child domain of
ABC.com.
Can we use "Domain Rename" utility to Rename
XYZ.com to "Child.ABC.com" and create a trust rlationship between
these.
Regards,

| Hello,
Some additional info would be helpful (OS on your DC's,
functional level, etc....).
One of the contraints with renaming
domains is you have to have the same number of domains in the forest in
the end that you started out with. The way I
read the question, you currently have 2 seperate domains you need to merge into
a parent/child relationship.
It seems to me you would want to create a
new xyz.com domain as a child of the abc.com domain, and use the Active
Directory Migration Tools (ADMT) to migrate the objects from the old xyz.com to
the new child xyz.com domain.
Hope that helps,
Tim

| Hi Tim,
OS is Windows 2003. Functional Level is Windows
2000 Mixed Mode.
Yes as i plan it when we rename XYZ.com to say
123.ABC.com number of domains in the forest would still remain same i.e 1 (one)
as we dot have trust relationship between these domains and they are Standalone
forests.
After Renaming we want to create Trust relationship
between ABC.com and 123.ABC.com.
And i want to do this so that i dont have to use
ADMT or USMT.
If what i am planning is accomplished then we will
not have to reconfigure user profiles which is the most difficult task in this
whole exercise as all the users are of higher management and Profile migration
for them is very critical.
( One more question after Domain Rename activity do
we need to reconfigure the user profiles? As if we need to do that i will change
the plan ).
Regards,
Jaspreet.

| Someone else will be sure to correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont see another way on a Sunday to accomplish this task without using ADMT.
The USMT aspect of this can be scripted to take care of easing the profile migration process.
My advice would be: fire up the lab environment, and read some AD design documentation. Trying this out for yourself in a lab will make the real deal a lot smoother.
Hope that helps,
Tim

| You need to go and read the domain rename articles (especially this
http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/6/5/965e6899-e086-4b3e-8ed6-516ea07e
a225/Domain-Rename-Intro.doc and this
http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/f/c/cfcbff04-97ca-4fca-9e8c-3a9c90a2
a2e2/Domain-Rename-Procedure.doc) on MS website. Domain rename does not work
the way you are thinking, and if you are going to do it, you need to be well
prepared.
