Migrating to a new Domain

[penroy]

I am in the process of planning a domain migration from windows 2003 to 2008.

In the 2003 domain exchange is installed,we are planning to reinstalling the exchange server once the 2008 domain is ready,however we want to perform a phase approach.

What I am think of is to create a trust relationship between the old domain and the new.Once I have the trust in place.

Can I move the users to the new domain and still allow access to the exchange server in the 2003.

That seems like an awful lot of work just to upgrade your domain to 2008. Why not just do rolling upgrades of the DCs? Install a new 2008 machine, do the schema updates, then promote the 2008 box to a DC and GC. Move the FSMO roles. Upgrade the other DCs.
