Block Inheritance from child domain.

Let's try this again..

I have 2 domains - NOT a trust. Domain A, and Domain B - Domain A is the global catalog, Domain B is not the global catalog.

Domain A is connected to a seperate box for EXCHANGE

Domain B has its own exchange on it.

We do not want users from the seperate domains to see each other in the contact lists, how do we block the inheritance of this to occur?
 
K - fine,

Let's do this.

I don't want sub domains anymore - I want them on completely different domains (same network, but thats irregardless)

How would I accomplish "Destroying" the child domain, while keeping it intact?
 
Unfortunately there is no way to move off a child domain. What you would have to do is setup another new separate domain not under the current forest and then migrate over your user and computer accounts. To keep issues to a minimum on your current forest/domain make sure you remove the DC's from the child domain by DCPromo and not just blow away the OS and load it again to the new domain. If you don?t remove them by using DCPromo you would leave a ton of artifacts in the parent domain that will be a PIA to remove later.

So your saying I should set up some spare boxes? Or create some virtual machines on the same box and then migrate it over?

Explain a bit more for me please. THank you.
 
Doing the migration is a lot of work! How many users/workstaions/servers are we talking about and are the systems mission critical to the business?

Worst case, on the first problem, is you could probably hide everybody in the GAL and create custom contact lists for each domain. But I hardly ever deal with multi-domain setups, so I'm not the person to ask.
 
1 Server on Domain A

2 Servers on Domain B

Domain A = DC/EX

Domain B - Seperate DC and Seperate EX

Domain A = 50 workstations

Domain B = 100 workstations to rejoin.
