Forest To Forest Move

[Guest]

I need to move all of my AD info from one forest to another. I have a schema
problem that is causing me to have to start from scratch to get rid of some
rogue entries and I'm looking for the best way of doing this that will bring
over all of my account,security,etc. info. I'm not sure if this is the best
way to do this or not, so I'm open to suggestions. If this is the best way
where can I find info on exactly how to do this?? My biggest fear at the
moment is my Exchange which is currently 5.5. Once this schema issue is
fixed we are moving to E2003. Thanks in advance!!!!

Jeff-

You can use ADMT to do the migration of forests. You will need to resetup
your ADC connections with Exchange 5.5 once you're in the new forest.

I have seen these articles before. I'm running into the problem of not
seeing each other. I'm assuming I have to do something DNS wise to get this
to work, I'm just unsure of what????

Yar. Make the source forest forward to the destination forest's DNS.
