Hi Doug

From what you say you would be best off with two separate AD forests combined 
using some sort of Meta Directory Service. Something like Simple Sync 
(http://www.cps-systems.com/) may well give you what you need.

Be aware that splitting them off from you altogether is no small job. 
Rebuilding an AD domain from scratch will break virtually everything that of 
theirs that is in your current domain.

Hope that helps.

Bye for now.

Paul.

  You see? That's why I wanted to begin planning early!

              We will have to maintain their servers & software for them here 
at the main site, but from a user standpoint, they will be split into a new 
organization. New Addressing / naming convention et.al.

              Logically, a completely new AD with E2k would be best, but we 
need to be the Enterprise admin overall.

  Hi Doug



  SBS will only allow to you to create a new Forest with the server being the 
root of it. Thus I am farid what you are propsoing isn't possible with SBS.



  However, you could install a Windows 2003 server in to a workgroup and then 
install AD and create a child Domain within the smae Forest. Do remember that 
if they subsequently wish to install E2K or E2K3 on the server or another 
server in their child Domain they will be using your Global Address List as 
they will still be in your Domain forest. would that be a problem? If it is the 
best long term solution, although rather laborious to say the least, may be to 
create them their own independent AD strcuture.



  Hope that helps.



  Regards,



  Paul Lemonidis.

    My organization has to spin off some of our clinics in a few months; I'd 
like to run this by you all.

    Currently the users there are in our domain, and use our exchange for mail 
etc.



    Can I buy them a new server with SBS(Small Business Server), create a new 
child domain in our existing forest using SBS?

    Or maybe a server with Windows Server 2003, promote to a domain controller 
in its own child domain, with exchange 2000 standard (I have an unused 
license). There are only about 50 users there. I'm looking for the best 
solution, and need to plan for it now.
