Hello,
Here is our situation:
We currently have 1 Forest with 1 Domain. The forest is a Windows 2000 with
a Windows 2000 native domain.
Now we want to add another tree root (not a child domain!) that is a Windows
2008 domain. Eventually all the users & computers will migrate to this new
domain.
It's unclear to me what will happen to the first domain that was created in
this Forest. Can this domain be demoted and deleted after all the objects
have migrated to the new W2K8 domain? I have read in some articles that a
first root domain in the forest cannot be deleted?
I want to make sure I make the right decision before I continue. I know I
can setup a Interforest but this has some limitations with migrating users
and their SIDS when using the ADMT 3.1
So my goal is that a new tree root will act as the W2K8 domain with W2K8
Domain Functional Level. After deleting the old W2K domain when everything is
migrated I want to make the Forest a W2K8 Forest as well
Can this be done?
