Making an existing Domain a Child of another Domain

Hello Everyone,

One of our clients has recently acquired another company. As part of the inevitable IT works that come with this, we have been asked to make the acquired company's domain a child of our clients domain. Is there a mechanism in place for this?

I understand how to create a new child domain, just not how to make an existing domain the child of another domain.

I'm working with Server 2008 & 2012.

Kind Regards,
Ricki

Can't be done. You have two separate forests.

You will have to migrate one of them into a new child domain (if you really need a child domain).

Thanks very much guys.

I can't say that surprises me. A trust relationship would be far simpler.
