Multiple site connectivity

We have three locations with servers. Currently they are all on their own
domain. It is a headache because two locations have to you Outlook
WebAccess to access the Exchange server due to authentication issues. There
are other issues too.

What is the easiest way to connect all three servers as members of a single
domain considering they are spread out across 2000 miles?

Just a point in the right direction is enough.

Thanks,

Scott
 
Scott: Thinking out loud. Microsoft suggests that you
use as few domains as possible. If one domain will work,
stay with one. The Microsoft rule for setting up a site
is that if the communications link connectivity is less
than 512Kbps, then create two sites with a site link.
Defining an organization's network around domains was done
in NT4. Windows 2000 and beyond permit using few domain
with site links and Organizational units in the AD. I
have never used it, but I understand that you can move
domains; not sure about combining them.
Each domain has its own Global Catalog, right? The GC
is used for logon authentication.
I hope my 'out loud' thinking helps. regards, milt
