It doesn't matter in which domain you run ForestPrep, so you might as well run it in the domain in which you're installing the Exchange servers.  You must run DomainPrep in any domain in which Exchange servers or recipients will reside, which usually means every domain in the forest.

From all my reading I don't think I run forest prep on the sub domain but do run domain prep on the MT root and on the sub domain. Am I correct....     john
