Is it possible to merge 2 existing AD domains w/ Exchange 2000 in each into one tree structure for the purpose of having a single global access list without trashing existing user information?

The short answer is yes. The how-to will depend on whether the domains exist in the same forest or in separate forests. Neither how-to lends itself to in-depth instructions in this forum.

You can find how-to instructions on Technet or in many good Active Directory references. Look under headings such as "Intra-forest Migration," "Inter-forest Migration," "Merging domains," etc.

Hope this helps.
