2 domains

Hello,
I have a windows 2000 domain called domainA. It has DHCP
setup to assign an IP and DNS setting (for DomainA)
whenever a node is plugged into the network. I am setting
up a separate win2003 domain called DomainB. Their will be
a trust between the 2 domains. If I want to plug in a
node into the network and have it communicate with DomainB
what should I due. DHCP will assign the node the domainA
IP and DNS. How due I get nodes to join the DomainB
domain?

Assign static IP addressing to the Domain B machines?

1) Configure domains on two different subnets and
configure DHCP on both subnets to use specified range.
Since the DHCP servers will be on different subnets there
should be no conflicts.

2) When joining computer to a new domain (DomainB in your
case) type that domain name in the Network ID wizard.
(Right click on "My computer"->Properties->Network
Identification->Network ID) and follow the wizard. If
everything is configured correctly, there should be no
problem.

Or, if you don't wan't to split the network, just follow
step 2.

You are going to have problems there unless you use static addressing on one
domain. This is because DHCP clients will accept addresses from the first
DHCP server that responds, something you can't control in your scenario.
