mentioned that.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] 2 NT4.0 domains to a Forrest
I would start fresh with a new forest & then migrate
over users & services using MS migration tools which work well. I have
previously done an in place upgrade of NT4 & although it
worked well there is more flexibility with with a new domain.
Obviously the additional hardware requirements can limit your choice if new kit
is not an option.

Subject: [ActiveDir] 2 NT4.0 domains to a Forrest
Hi,
I'm planning to upgrade my NT4.0 domains to Windows
2000. I have NT domains that have two-way trusts to each other.
The first domain is where all my users, printers, file
server and mail servers are and the second domain is just for my SAP
applications run. My SAP servers are completely dependent on the SAP
domain to start the services and it is hard coded which accounts from that
domain can start them, therefore I must maintain the domain logon, SID and
account name. The SAP domain requires the use of printers and file servers
from the user domain.
I am making a migration plan where I intend to upgrade my
users domain to Windows 2000 Active Directory first and maintain a two-way
non-transitive trust to the SAP domain. I will switch to native mode and
then I will upgrade the SAP domain to Active Directory.
However, I am not sure whether to create a new domain tree
or create a child domain of the users domain for the SAP domain.
What would be best? Or would creating a new Forrest
and have trust be any better?
Thanks
Adam
