Scenario:
Existing domain is child.domainA.corp. Exchange 2003 SP1 (will SP2
before move) and a few DC are all that is in the root & child domains,
no member servers or workstations. Due to being bought by another
company they are asking us to move to their domain, lets call is
domainB.corp. DomainB.corp already has their existing Exchange 2003
setup & going.
How would child.domainA.corp's Exchange deal with suddenly being part
of domainB.corp and their Exchange organization? Is a domain rename
an option for this scenario, or would my time be better spent on an
Exchange Migration plan?
I've seen quite a few articles on domain renames & the Exchange
effects, but those were more "rename" oriented and not a "move"

From http://support.microsoft.com/?id=842116 ...
"You cannot use the Exchange Domain Rename Fixup tool or the Windows Server
2003 domain rename tools to merge two Exchange organizations that are in
different Active Directory forests into a single Exchange organization."
Anyway, you're going to get it done an awful lot quicker with a simple
migration...
HTH,
