If you end up with 2 Forests, regardless of schemas, you can use SimpleSync from CPS Systems to synchronize the GALs between the Forests. For more information and to download an evaluation copy of SimpleSync, please visit www.cps-systems.com . If you would prefer to see SimpleSync 'live', please contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a web demo using GoToMyPC. Thank you for your time, Jerry Welch CPS Systems
