P2V in multiforest
Hi.. I need to execute below scenario and need your help.

Have 2 forests running without any trust relationship.

Forest abc.com running in Windows server 2000 Native mode Domain function level. Another forest xyz.com with Windows 2003 Native Mode. (No Trust relationship between these 2 forests/domains) Hyper-V Host Servers and SCVMM Server (2008 R2) is installed in xyz domain.  Now i would like to convert p2v of physical server which is joined to domain abc.com.  Is this supported /possible?  If Yes. what is the procedure?

Thank You.

You can executing the SCVMM using the commad RUNAS, and specify other domain name.

Hi, I'm currently trying to find out if this p2v in multi forest environment is possible or not, now with these links I can't find any info related to this specific scenario, is this possible to do or not?

If it is, do I need a trust relationship? what kind? What other special considerations are necessary before trying to create a p2v in this kind of scenario?

Thanks.
