I am a couple of days into this environment, so don't laugh, but I am
pretty sure they are two separate forests with a trust between the
two.

Company A head office - approx 70 users:

Example client DHCP:

Hostname: A123WRKSTN.dom.example.org
IP: 10.10.10.125
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default GW: 10.10.10.1
DHCP Server: 10.10.10.122
DNS: 10.10.10.10, 10.10.10.11

Company B head office - approx 100 users:

Hostname: B123WRKSTN.dom.contoso.org
IP: 10.10.10.212
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default GW: 10.10.10.1
DHCP Server: 10.10.10.122
DNS: 10.10.10.10, 10.10.10.11

IE settings:

Company A:  isa2000srv
Company B:  proxy2.0srv

Outlook settings:

Company A: exchange2000.dom.example.org
Company B: exchange2000.dom.consoso.org

External trust, non-transitive. How can I confirm this (whether or not
NT 4 style trust for example) besides looking in ADD&T?

I will clarify this tomorrow.

Still in discussion.  In the least, layer one of the network will be
divided, the AD trust will need to be broken, DHCP and DNS separated.

They are discussing two separate NOC's, because all the servers,
switches, firewalls, i.e. all network equipment is in the same NOC.

Right now all is calm, but one is suing (three week old news) the
other, so all hell could break lose.

Thank you!
