I have a windows 2003 domain (20 DC’s). Our goal is to rename the Domain.
However, we have decided its too risky to run the domain rename tool. We have
decide to do a migration. We also acquisition multiple companies and migrate
them to our domain. The goal is to create a win2k3 FOREST ROOT DOMAIN,
(separates Enterprise and Schema admin groups from the production domain ).
This Domain would have no users at all other than Administrator and one
backup account. What I’m trying to figure out is what to name it? Does
Microsoft have some best practice scenarios for this?
Then we build the production domain under the forest root. Call it something
like Production.Lan? This domain is subordinate to the forest root. we would
create various OU’s in here for structure/management. Then migrate the old
domain to this one.
Does this sound like I’m on the right path? Can you provide any
documentation, case studies, suggestions for this scenario?
Many Thanks
JR
