assuming there trust between mycompany.parent.local , new mycompany domain facilitate migration - can use trust stage migration on longer period of time?

>>>can use trust stage migration on longer period of time?

it depend on requirement. simple answer – yes. how long “long” period? planning migration mailboxes?

>>>my concern have large number of laptop users, once start te migration have done in 1 go

no. can migrate them in groups.

>>>access objects , resources have been migrated across aleady?

yes. make sure migrate resources using sid history.

>>>there authentication issues?

sid history take care of authentication part.

>>>also how sql servers @ being migrated

it migrating other servers. however, might need manually re-acl sql resource after migration. depends on authentication type , configuration inside sql.
