Re: [ActiveDir] Domain Rename Issue

[Jaspreet Singh Jolly]

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sullivan Tim To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2005 7:44 AM Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Domain Rename Issue 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.
