I need advice on migrating objects between AD forests. My company will be using this to make a decision on our AD structure.

I know MS has a migration tool but I need to know how well it works, how much time it takes to migrate a server, any pitfalls, etc. The white papers I have seen all talk about migrating from NT to AD but not much about moving between forests.

Any ideas from experience, or sources of a good white paper/book would be appreciated. I need proof to make my case that management wants too many forests in their design.

Sam's teach your self windows 2000 server in 21 days is a great book. I am about half way through it and there is much good info in it. Whats good is it walks you through doing the things it talks about. Lots of tips.

I really wouldn't want to be you right now. It is a tough task that you are undertaking, but can be done wwith MS's tools as well as othere third party utilities. As far as info goes, the MS Migration Cookbook is great, but it is about 500 pages in size. You can find it at MS's site keyword MS Migraton Cook Book. If not, shoot me an email. I have a zipped version of it. The best of luck to you in your endeavor.

Thanks for the help. The cookbook was more about NT migration but it identified the migration tools and I was able to get more information by doing searches on the tools.
