Our existing Win2k Domain was installed as a root domain for our organistion.
Due to a recent Merger I want if possible to make a new root domain and
relegate the existing one to a child domain of the new one. Can this be done
bearing in mind that it also supports Exchange 2000. There will probably be a
need to rename the domain as well
 
You can't create the child domain then create the parent.

Since you want to rename the domain,
Your best bet is to set up the new forest the way you want it then use ADMT
to migrate your users to the new forest.

When we moved from NT 4 to 2k I was able to designate the 2k user as primary
account of an exchange 5.5 mailbox. As Exchange is a part of the AD user
configuration can I give the user of the old domain rights to access (send
receive) a mailbox on the new domain if a trust is set up between domains. I
realise I will have to create a user in the new domain as the mailbox won't
exist without it.
