Moving user mailbox from one domain to to the domain hosting Exchange 2010 within a forest

I have 02 domains (atco and inpro) in a forest. Users from both domains connect to exchange 2010 in atco domain. They also use atco domain email addresses. While I was able to move all mailboxes of atco domain from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010, I am unable to move user mailbox for inpro domain users to the new Exchange 2010. Error: Active Directory operation failed on Michael-frank.inpro.com.

On System Settings tab on Exchange 2010 only domain controllers/GCs of atco domain are shown. Exchange is probably not able to communicate with domain controller on inpro domain.

In the Event Log Event ID 2080 the in-site domain controllers are:
atcoterm.atco-intl.com
Michael-frank@inpro.com
inprodc1.inpro.com
pilot.atco-intl.com

Please find a solution to this problem. Thanks.

provide a trust between the 2 domains so exchange can communicate.

It is a single forest. Complete trust exists between two domains.

Should I run setup /pad on inpro.com domain controller? Secondly, will it disturb the Exchange 2010 (now in production) in any way?
You should run setup /pad on the domain controller that is the schema master. It will not disturb the current install of Exchange.

My Schema Master is a Windows 2003 SP2 Enterprise server. When I try to run setup /PAD on this machine, I get this msg: " The image file D:\setup is valid, but is for a machine type other than the current machine."
OK, do you have another DC in the same site that is running Windows 2008 or above? If so, run it from there.

-JJ
No.
Try running it from your Exchange server.

I did that before installing Exch 2010. Is it OK to run it again?
Yes, you can run it again.

I will run it on another machine hosting Windows 2008 R2 OS. That should be OK too? Pls give me time to prepare the server. Thanks.
