Doesn't have to be a 3rd party tool - ADMT 2.0 would be an option to consider.

Simple answer: no
You can't take an existing tree and simply move it to a different forest
with the native tools. There are several third party tools that could
help simplify the process.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Question on collapsing Forests
Dear List Members,
First let me preface my remarks by telling you that I appreciate your
diligence to monitor this list and your quick contributions to various
problems. The information is invaluable at times as it comes from the
real
world.
I have to collapse 5 Forests, each with a single domain, into one new
empty
root that will end up with five child domains. The mountain of
literature I
need to read is overwhelming. However, I have a simple question as I
begin
to scheme out my step-by-step plan. I believe the answer to this is
No,
it's just too simple., however, I ask it anyway.
If one of my domains (a Forest root domain) is Windows 2000, and my new
pristine empty root Windows 2003 native mode Forest is in place, can I
simply upgrade the Windows 2000 Forest to Windows 2003 and at the same
time tell it, Hey, you're now a Child Domain in this DNS namespace in
this
new empty Forest root?
I'd appreciate your comments.
Thanks.
RH
