Hi Jaspreet, Exactly, right now you have 2 forests, with one domain each, but you want 1 forest with 2 domains in the end. Thats not going to be accomplished by just using the domain rename tools.
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

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
