We have a 2000 AD / 2000 Exchange server on oldcompanyname.com

Want to migrate to 2003 AD newcompanyname.com and exchange 2003

What are the better 3rd party tolls that you've used to accomplish this?

You're a bit light on detail but you could do this (based on what
little you've written) with rendom from the resource kit.

I looked to see what rendom is.
We do not want to rename the domain.
Although it still needs to be changed for political reasons.

We are starting a new/clean domain because the old one is hosed/flakey from
the last admin.  We have two new 2003 domain controllers in native mode on
the newcompany.com domain. no accounts(well, maybe a couple).
We also have a new server with win2003/exchange  2003 loaded.

I wish microsoft made the cross-forest migration easier.
Linking exchange servers, GAL's from different forests if they are trusted.
This stuff happens alot.
