If you are working with a Windows 2000 or 2003 domain then there is no supported method to do this. If your domain is Windows NT then you could upgrade the domain and in the process join it to an existing Windows Active Directory forest as a child domain as you described below.

I would hate to have to rebuild the entire directory if I didn't have to. Any suggestions?
