A separate forest for a 30-user environment that may (or may not) be sold at some point in the future? What would that give you -except unneeded complications, over-engineering and heart burns? Just dump the objects into an OU and be done with it. If you end up selling that entity later, you've only got 30 (or maybe 50 now) users to migrate.
Sincerely,

If you create a new domain in your forest for this requirement, and in the future they are bought by another company, then your only supported option is to migrate to the new or existing forest on the other side. It is probably easier, and safer, to create a new forest with an external trust. When they are then sold, you simply agree a date and time when the trust is severed and the comms equipment decomissioned. --Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Larry Wahlers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org> Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 6:18 PM Subject: [ActiveDir] Planning for the future > Esteemed colleagues, > > We have a radio station that is currently part of our denomination that > we want to finally put on our network.
