we have one more DC in the same ADS which is having all applications (VSS Database).

I guess you have to use ldifde to do this. I am researching on a same sort of project. If you have any ideas, please share.

thanks

Take a look at the Active Directory Migration Cookbook which is a good resource on
how to migrate for various scenarios, and what tools to use. If your target domain is
native. be sure to look at the free ADMT which has a test mode also. It is also easy
to use Group Policy user configuration to manage logon scripts as shown in the last
link. Group Policy also allows startup, logoff, and shutdown scripts. A big advantage
of startup scripts is that they run in the system context which means you can run
scripts that would otherwise need the logon user to be a local administrator. ---
