Migration to new domain

Hello my company is planning on migrating our current domain to a new domain and I wanted to know what's involved in this, what seems as a huge task, and the timeframe it might take?  I'd like to know what tools are available and what the pros/cons of each tool.  Also what is neccesary if we do not get any tools.  

We currently have rought about 200 users accross 5 sites.  Our biggest amount of users sit in our HQ office.

Do you actually require migrating to a "new" domain or are you looking to retire old hardware and replace it with new hardware?

Can you please give us an idea of what versions of Windows Server you are currently running, How many servers and the roles of each.

Any additional information you can provide will help greatly

What OS are you going from and going to?

Whats on your network, Exchange, SQL and file and print servers etc.

I have done several migrations but they all are different and dependent on what you have or in some cases haven't got.

We are migrating from xxx.yyy.com to zzz.yyy.com.  Most systems, with the exception of SQL and a QA server, are on Server 2003.  We also have 3 ESX servers which host most of virtual servers, with the exeption of our DC's which, for now, are physical servers.  One of our DC's has all the FSMO roles, which goes against M$ "best practice".  In addition, we have 1 additional ESX server which is used as a DR solution.  

There are also three sites which have their own DC as well.
