Apparently either Paul or myself I confused as to your desire. Maybe you can elaborate.

Access to resources will work just fine due to the two-way transitive trusts, and the replication will be much less of an issue. However, what you might want to investigate first if the reason that the synch capabilities are lost.. if the connection between the locations is unreliable, consider using SMTP replication instead of IP replication, as that is more suitable, using a store-forward method for replication, for unreliable connections. I'd advise trying that first, before you restructure your entire forest. With two separate domains, replication traffic will decrease, so you are less dependent on the lines between the sites, and the issue of not being able to add machines to the domain will also be gone. And if it turns out that the lines are so unreliable that replication becomes an issue, than actually, yes, I would advise creating two separate domains.

Creating to stove pipes of similar data would not be desired by any organization especially when the data does not have a specific technical need (e.g. security) to be separated. Is it possible? Yes I suppose, so long as you never want those two DCs to communicate together again and the clients supported by one DC will never have to access the resources supported by the other DC. Also keep in mind that the two DCs, and separate domains/forests they create, will never be able to trust the same third party nor will they be able to share the same DNS or WINS infrastructure. Quite honestly the only "safe" way to do this is to ensure that the networks they sit on are completely isolated from each other. More importantly it is not likely that this "solution" will solve you endpoint mapper issues. I would suggest working to solve the endpoint mapper issues instead.

The one in LA is the catalog server, the one in SD is the DC, and they are both running Windows 2000 servers. I would like to seperate two servers, and create two seperate domains. The reason is DC are loosing sync capebilities, for example somethimes we can not join new computers to domain, we get an "end point mapper is not available" error, when we get this error we restart servers, everything goes back to normal. We have to do tabove restart procedires almost every week. So I would like to seperate two DC,s and create two new ones without loosing the AD data, user info ect. Is this possible?
