Moving existing domains into new forest...

[Ben Scribner]

Is there a way to move existing domains into a newly
created forest? I have a client that has bought several
new businesses and would like all these domains to be
joined into a single forest. Any pointers to white papers
or advice would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben

You can't join them per say, but you can migrate them into an existing
forest with ADMTv2.

Yes - one of them is from Aelita (www.aelita.com). We have used their other
tools for NT 4.0 to 2000 migrations and they work well.
