However, we also have quite a few legacy apps and servers and to replicate the environment in lab manager for testing is a huge undertaking. Is there a way we can have both ADs running and then test the AD2008 in the prod environment without affecting other users? The idea would be to slowly migrate users across and fixing issues as they arise. Some apps do need the AD, what is the best approach for this migration from 2000 to 2008 AD ? Thanks in advance..

We are working on a Windows 2000  AD which consists of single forest containing 10 domain. Other then the root the child domains are division specific and are having two-way trusts. The domain servers are connected via Web links. The domains are not managed centrally and require seperate accounts for administration to access each domain. Also the user accounts are not organised within the domain. There are around 7000 to 10000 users spread across locations.

There is a need to re-architect this domain to Windows 2008 where we need to do: consider 1) User consolidation 2) Create seperate domain space for company’s clients accounts 3) Automate passwrod reset 4) Provision for client machine logins in even when AD authentication is not available,etc. 5)Availability & Security and 6)Cost

We are looking at options like Single forest , Single Domain , Organise users via OU ( with delegated rights) rather then with Child domains, etc.

Based on yexperience can anyone help to provide some pointers/recommendations as to what could be best possible design options to meet the criterias and also limit cost. 

 Thanks

I would like some assistance, i am changing hardware and as such i
would like to know how i go about moving the active directory users from
1 server to another. The old server is windows 2003, DC and DNS. The
new server is already set to be a DC and DNS. the domain names are the
same on both machines. The new server presently have a different ip
since it in on the same network but when the move is complete the Ip has
to change to that of the old server. How do i proceed.
