I guess my question was too silly.... Ok, how 'bout this- Has anyone had personal experience doing a forest migration using these tools without the benefit of Alieta or any other third party? thanks

I apologize for all the questions but my cio wants to leave our current forest for polotical reasons in 2 weeks and i'm the only one doing this migration and i thought you guys could help me even see if this is feasible(he doesn't want to spend the money for Alieta or any other third party apps!!??). the only AD aware or dependent app we have is exchange2k(the root domain is using SAP but i don't know if this will affect it). i'd just like some input. i know this si a broad and big topic but just any advice or war stories or even "no don;t do this, are you insane!", would be great. thanks alot and again, my apologies for throwing such a big diverse topic out there. i know it can't be resolved in a simple forum....
