Are there 20 Exchange 5.5 servers (or more) here or is there just the
one? Is there a trust relationship between the AD and NT4 domain?

Need more information here to give you a better response because I
think pointing you at a basic link might just be encouraging danger.

Hi, Thanks in advance

We have a trust relationship betwen domains, We have 20 diferents Exchange
5.5 sites on only one big Exchange 5.5 Organization (There is AD but not E2k
or E2k3). The Exchange that I want to move is the only one in my site.  I
really apreciate your help...

Do you really, really have to do this? If you did you'd be introducing
some horrible situation where you either move the server and service
account into the other domain which gives you a point of pain or you
run the risk of isolating the one server by moving it away from the
other 19 or so.
I would certainly suggest you avoided moving all the servers. Another
thing is that you're already way out of support on 5.5 and you doing
unsupported things with an environment that is already out of support
is just asking for trouble.

Still, if you must go with this you can use the safest method I know:
