hello . how are you all I am alex. new member and happy to be here. I am a net admin of about 180 computers. because of management changes in the corp , some of "fool brain "managers decide for us to be CHILD of another domain . now ,I have 2 DC ( main and additional ) in my net. and 1 ANT.VIR srv and 2 FS srv. because of our corp is joined to the new big corp , we should use their applications that run from their APP server. those applications are all "ACTIVE DIRECTORY AUTHENTICATION" based.so they forced me to be child of them JUST for "AD authentication" I have two ways : 1- obey them and demote my domain controller to child domain. 2- implementing a trust relation ship between my dc and theirs. if I select the first , I think that this is so "time consuming " for 180 computers and 220 user profiles( there are some computers with multiple user profile) because of: A- migrating user profiles ( there are all local, NOT roaming ) B-MY DOCUMENTS folder ( I cant use "my document redirection" because "mydocument" folder is exist in drive D but with deferent names for some users) I hardly select the second solution , because my manager FORCED me to become child of them. and I hardly refuse.: is it true to select the first solution or i should select "trust" ? what i your idea? dear "site admin" : I searched in topics, but I did not find a problem similar to mine. thanks all. alex.
