Ok, I have two domains at my house. &nbsp;Dissolved.com &nbsp; and &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; domainb.com &nbsp; <br />
They are totally separate and independent(in 2 different forests) with their own users, own DNS servers etc...<br />
<br />
Is there anyway to integrate them ? I'm assuming I can. Say two companies merged, what is standard practice in this siutation? Do they just enable transitive trust in between their domain controllers? Or is there a way to &quot;integrate&quot; them so they fall under one forest. &nbsp;I guess I'm asking what is best practice in situations like this?<br />
<br />
&nbsp;I'm assuming you do this through the Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap in?<br />
Thanks

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
