I am posting this question in a few different forums on here just to make sure my bases are all covered.
Here's my problems:
I have a client with 2 separate entities; a corporate entity and an R&D entity. The R&D entity would like to split from the corporate Active Directory forest for management purposes. The customer, the R&D entity, would like to have a brand new forest stood up to facilitate this split and have new objects created in the new forest for users and computers/servers.
The corporate entity will continue to provide HR services and will provide email service. Corporate will originate new account information since they are providing HR services and that information will be in the form of an X.500 feed from an HR software of some type (not sure what the source server is to be honest). I need to create new accounts based on this X.500 feed. I'd like for this solution to be as automated as possible. If you need any other information, please let me know.
