Hi,
I have 4 domains: contoso.com, eu.contoso.com, us.contoso.com and ap.contoso.com, each of which has up to 15 sites except contoso.com which is empty. There is no real reason for this design and it doesn give us anything except complexity so we would like to consolidate everything up into contoso.com.
I did a bit of reading and came across tools like ADMT but what I really want is an overview of the process, best practises and gotchas that might appear and what type of downtime to expect. An official Microsoft guide would be idea.
Amongst other things we have Exchange, SQL and Bes servers in each child domain.
If you can provide any thoughts or suggested reading, that would be fantastic.
Thanks for your time,
Will
