Hello Guys,
I have a problem and need to canvass for opinion on how to procede.

I have two domains which are in seperate forests that need to be joined. curently have mydomain.com & my2nddomainelsewhere.com and need to end up with mydomain.com & us.mydomain.com within the same forest.

What way is best to go about making this change. I have looked into rendom however once renamed it states you cannot change the root domain of the forest which is what I need to do I believe.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I feel like a preecher, preeching ADMT as of late. But it really works. I used it to migrate two seperate domains into one under a new name.

Its a free utility from Microsoft and comes with a lengthly document on how to use it. Also search ADMT in the forum here for other ADMT posts.

have to migrate the domain you wish to merge into another domain. Make sure you read the entire ADMT guide before you proceed. What you said you want to do is migrate to a child domain within the root and there are configurations you need to make on the domain you will be migrating to for this to be successful.
