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.

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.

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 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,
Jaspreeet
