I am trying to migrate users between two Win2K forests and
need to be a domain admin in both. How do I add a user
from one domain into a Global security group in the other
domain? Any help would be appreciated.
 
A global group may only contain members from the same domain the group is in
therefore it isn't possible to add a user from another domain to the Domain
Admins group.

ADMT usually requires the user to be a member of the Domain Admins group in
the target domain and a member of the Administrators group in the source
domain.

I suggest reading the chapter below which documents our recommended
practices for restructuring domains using ADMT. Note that this chapter is
also applicable for Win2K.
