Hi Apologies if OT. Is there any documentation available that shows the way to move - migrate from a Windows 2003 AD Forest to another pristine new Windows 2003 AD Forest. Currently we have a Windows 2003 AD Forest - Domains with Exchange 2003 Servers. We want to create a pristine AD forest then create new domains. Don't want to use any of the available migration tools to move users, resources and mailboxes, but create them individually. Don't ask me why!! But the powers that be want it done this way. This will be done gradually, by moving select number of users over time. The workstations are Windows XP and servers are Windows 2003. Also how does the GAL work between the two Forests.
