You will need a trust in place between the two forests before running ADMT...otherwise nothing will work :)

Test it first, there are a few reg entries you have to manually change, its is worth reading the guide on this

the guide?  the readme? with ADMT?  I have a couple of test domains  link to guide your refering to please?
Download the ADMT v3 Migration Guide from the link above in the "What others are downloading" section.  It looks quite a long document but it covers different migration scenarios.  Inter-forest domain restructures start on page 102.   It explains about the required trusts and test labs etc.
