Migrate Certification Authority from 2003 domain to another parrallel domain

We have an old 2003 domain with a CA authority, in which we have a few old application servers which is in the process of de-comissioning, however it will take another 6-8 months to complete.
We also have a 2008 domain running in parralel which is the current domain and I need to move the certificate authority from the 2003 domain to the new domain but to still service the old 2003 domain until we de-comission this domain. Is there a guide that can be used for this process please?

you can move a CA domain root to the same or a newer version of windows but not across domains
the CA is setup for that domain; build a new CA for the other domain

Thank you Seth.
The new domain has it's own CA and I was wondering whether I can use this same CA for the old domain (they have trusts in place accross the domains), rather than building a new CA for the old domain, which will only be de-comissioned soon.
ok that's something entirely different; the original question referred to moving the CA which is a different process
i haven't tried a CA between trusted domains so not sure if it would work
With 2008 R2, MS has started to enroll certificates over cross forest trust
However its not possible to migrate CA rom one domain to another as it is domain specific

My apologies Seth - I didn't express the question appropriately.
My intention (if possible) is to use the new domain's CA as the CA for the old domain as well.
Look at below guide - Cross Forest Certificate enrollment

It is possible to re-enroll existing objects from old domain in the new domain CA through group policy?
