Migrating from an Old domain to a New one but being able to access information and servers on both sides!

-

hello there,

i newbie forums please bear me , if need more info, let me know!

was wondering if perhaps give me thoughts on following:

currently our company operating using 2 domains, lets call these domains domain x , domain y!

now domain x old (pretty messed , barely working domain) ,  domain y newly formed structured server 2008 domain.

both domains live separate in own ip ranges , in fact on own separate switches.

i trying determine best process migrate old domain new 1 , after time switch off old domain.

when comes workstations, have been able migrate them 1 other relatively no hassles.

the biggest problem have on domain x (the old one) have 2 virtual servers house development virtual machines used sharepoint deployments , told these virtual machines cannot migrated new domain.. apparently mean sharepoint needs re-installed each vm , take ridiculous amount of time, let alone dns complications etc.

  • so long story short realize need create 2 way trust between 2 domains allow users belonging domain y ability access servers in old domain x (specifically on remote desktop , on url browser.)
  • i realize due fact each network/domain in own ip range need form of equipment allow these 2 network segments speak 1 another.

my questions follows: 

i know may stupid question, possible connect 1 switch other , hope best? - in testing enviroment find dhcp problem picks address 1 domain controller , once release , renew fetch other domain controller on other segment. under no circumstances can workstations ping 1 in different network segments.

for above question presume need router of sorts route traffic between 2 networks - solution?

my second question best way achieve ability able work across domains interim period? minimal downtime our developers.

thanks time , if require additional info, please let me know.

hello,

for networking part either configure router connection between themor use switches vlans connect subnets. if make 1 big subnet both domains @ least one of them must use fixed ip addresses on machines avoid getting ips other dhcp server , way wrong dns servers, logon not possible.

to migrate 2 domains 1 need tools admt(free microsoft) or have pay example quest migration tools. admt requries @ least one-way trust migrae , quest tools able offline, if remember correct.

List Styles

in word 2010, defined new list style called “custom1′ “new docs based on template” instead of “this doc only.” heading 1, 2, 3, etc. appear linked within document. document create list style called “custom2′ , choose make available “new docs based on template” , also link them heading styles. though both list styles show available new docs, 1 of list styles (the last 1 used) linked heading styles. in word's default list library, multiple multi-level lists appear be linked heading styles. not able link heading styles multiple custom list styles? a particular list style can have 1 set of paragraph styles associated (one style each numbering level). the list formats in so-called list library behave differently, have noticed. similar predefined formats in bullets , numbering dialog box of word 97-2003. stefan blom, microsoft word mvp ...
