Hi ; i would like to know if it is possible to merge two different AD
domains that have the same name : test.priv. I don't find anything
here or on the microsoft knowledge base. Any tip, idea, web site...
Thank you!
 
Are a very bad idea. And actually I think you mean with the
SAME name; homonyms would be bad enough but having the
same name is a show stopper.

Having the same name domain, as Herb pointed out, is not possible,
especially with the available tools, such as ADMT.

One idea is you would probably need to export the accounts from one domain
using CSVDE and import them into the other domain. Watch out for dupe
accounts. The accounts will be disabled and have a blank password once
imported.
