You can use the movetree utility to move them to another domain and then just repoint the CAs. (We did this very succesfully here to another domain in the same forest. It's immaterial whether the domain is in the same tree or not.)

If I was moving to a child domain it would probably be okay, but I don't seem to have the option to move to another tree (unless I am missing something).

One root domain (for MIS only), and 3 regional trees. One of the regions was having problems getting their root server up, so the ADC connectors for that region were pointed to the MIS domain (supposed to be temporary). We now have the regional domain up and want to move the accounts over to their proper place. I am trying to figure out the best way to handle this.

You should be able to in the Exchange system manager disassociate the mailbox with the user then remove the account in AD users and computers then make another one and reassociate it the mailbox. Sounds like a great deal of work. What are you trying to accomplish.

Is there any way to remove the accounts it has created in Win2000 without deleting the associated Exchange 5.5 mailboxes? When our ADC was setup, the destination domain specified was not where we want these accounts created. I would really like to delete the accounts out of the current domain, and re-create the ADC connectors to the correct domain. Or move the ADC created accounts to the other domain (Can I do this if the new domain is another tree, not a child?). I tried deleting the ADC connectors for both Windows->Exchange and Exchange->Windows (both one-way connections), but if I remove the Exchange->Win2000 account it still deletes the associated mailbox. Any suggestions on the best scenario to get around this? When I delete the Win2000 account, it prompts me whether to delete the mailbox as well, but the option is greyed out (and checked to delete). Is there a way to allow me to un-check that box? Or am I better just leaving things as they are? I am guessing that these accounts are really just placeholders and don't need to be there once I have migrated over NT4.0 domain accounts, but would like to keep the rollout as clean as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
