Concatenating Domains / Domain Migration

HI all!

Can anyone help me with a few steps and utils how can I migrate 2 domains?

I have now 2 domain Windows 2003. domainA.com and domainA.net, the domain have the same netbios name DomainA. The 2 forests and domains are not trusted because they have the same netbios name

Each domain has its own exchange oranization

I need to move all users/computers from DomainA.net to the domainb.net with profiles mailboxes.

I can use the admigrate utility to migrate the users accounts, but i don't know how can I migrate the computers and the users profiles.

For example User1 from domainA.net logon on Workstation1 wich is joined to domainA.net, I migrate the User1 from donainA.net to domainA.com, also I join the Workstation1 from domainA.net to domainA.com, but what will happen when the user logon? How can I migrate his profile?

Also I need a solution for moving his mailbox from exch01.domainA.net to exch01.domainA.com

Can anyone help me?

Best regards

I am certain that due to the fact that you have the same domain name for both domains that you cannot migrate from one to the other.

Normally you would create a trust between the two and then migrate the users, mail and computers using the ADMT tools but these need to have a trust and as you have the same domain name there are not much options.

You will have to export the mailboxes using ExMerge and export/import the users using LDIFDE
