I currently have 2 2008R2 forests with the same name but different SIDs:
local local
abc abc - 2 DCs
a - 1 DC b - 2 DCs
a.abc.local is its own forest root, b is a child domain of the other abc.local
I want to end up with:
local
abc - 2 DCs
a - 2 DCs b - 2 DCs
where a becomes a child domain under the abc.local that b is currently a child domain of.
I'm confused by the current posted advice, which, to sum up, says yes-no I can-can't merge them using ADMT or some other tool set. Has anybody ever actually done this? If so, could you please advise? This is a multiple-site test lab abd I need to roll out Exchange 2013 soon (!!)
