So, I have somewhat similar project coming up, and can see many ways to
this the hard way, but not sure how to do it easy. I have one domain
with two DCs...one of which is also an Exchange server. This domain
(company.com)is used by two organizations that now want their own
separate networks. One organization will keep the current server
hardware. It was decided that the other group would be small enough to
use SBS 2003. The tricky part is that the org moving to SBS is the one
who controls the name for the existing domain and will use it on their
network.
So, do I demote one DC and then create a new forest and domain, then
setup a trust and migrate everyone? Do I run the risk of totally
screwing Exchange since it is on a DC?
