how to add one more domain in ADC

[Sudhir Kashyap]

Hi,
I using win2k. I have a domain XYZ but i want to change to ABC without doing
any change in exiting domain.
Can we add one more domain in same exiting domain,
So while i logon on client side it shows both the domain and select as per
equirement.

Thanks in advance..

You cannot add a "domain in a domain" nor a "another domain
to the same DC".

You can certainly add another domain to a Forest either as a child
of an existing domain, or as a new tree.

The main difference is that a "new tree" will not have them same
ending domain name as an existing domain in the forest which would
become it's parent if you did it that way.

So while i logon on client side it shows both the domain and select as per
equirement.

With Forests or by TRUSTING a domain (outside the forest) explicitly
additional domains will be available for logon on the member workstations.

The rule is that the following are choices for logon to machine:

1) The machine itself (a computer specific account, if the machine isn't
a DC)
2) The domain of the machine
3) Any domain trusted by the domain of the machine

In a forest, #3 will be ALL domains of the forest plus any with manual
trusts.
