HUH. OK ... haven't set up any clients yet. Changing the IP address (so it's a different subnet from production, even tho already isolated, is the last step in setting up the 2 DCs (one parent domain DC, one child domain DC)). I will change the IP address of the parent DC, reboot, wait a bit (15 min?), change the IP address of the child DC, reboot, cross fingers, pray, hold my breath and hope. :-) I will give that a shot tomorrow.
