 How to migrate child domain to parent domain in Exchange and Active Directory
Active Directory, Child Domain, Exchange 5.5
I have a Windows 2000 native child domain. We are currently using Exchange 5.5 within that domain. We are planning to migrate the child domain to the parent domain, eventually disposing of the child. At the same time, we will upgrade the Exchange servers to 2003, again using the Parent domain as the new email source and dispose of the child domain. Any suggestion on how to do this?
