    You need to use the migration feature of active directory.

    I am not however giving you an active directory tutorial or even pointing you in the direction of one.

    Because if this is your job and you cant do it then you should not be there.

    Sorry to sound harsh about this but I run into people all the time that just BS their way into techincal jobs then cant do anything.

    Go do some research and learn your profession, dont leech of the rest of us that bothered to learn the basics.

    LMAO… fine give it a bad rating cause I spoke the truth and hit a nerve. Shows that you are neither a) qualified to do the role you are in and b) capable of taking on critisim and using it as a tool to better yourself.

    I hope you enjoy flipping burgers with a mentality like that.

    1.Raise the domain and forest functional levels of both forests to 2003.
    2.Create a cross forest trust between the 2 forests.
    3.Install ADMT in the new forest ( it’s on the Server2003 CD)
    4.Use this to perform the migration.
