Hello,

We are currently have about 4 domain in the same forest. I would like to
consolidate 4 domain to be using Corp. Here is an example of our structure.
I would like to know how can we do this and what's the downtime and do we
need to create new desktop profile for everyone outside of corp? Thank you

corp.microsoft.com
china.corp.microsoft.com
texas.corp.microsoft.com
uk.corp.microsoft.com
 
It sounds like you want to migrate all the domains into one large domain, if
that is the case then you should migrate them using Active Directory
Migration Toolkit or ADMT.

Depending on the number of users, desktops and how many remote locations you
have, this can be a major migration.

I would agree with Paul and suggest to migrate all users, groups and
computers from each child to the corp domain using ADMT. First migrate usres
and groups. Once completed, migrate the computer accounts as well selecting
the security translation option. Once the computers are over, the migrated
users will be able to access their old desktops.
