I have both a Windows Server 2003 R2 and a Windows 2008 environment and I want to create an OU that's part of 2 domains in my Active Directory, is that possible?

Does this actually work, I mean, is this commonly done?

Do forest trusts work? Of course they do. Though a trust does not address your question about a single OU in common to both domains. Do you have a book on Active Directory?

No, I dont sorry, I have one on Group Policy, Objects, Forest Topology, but none on actual AD. Ok, so, how do I still find out if its possible?

Let's first clarify what we are talking about. You write that you have 2003 and 2008. Are they in the same forest or different forests? What is your desire for this OU to do?

I have 2003 and 2008 in the same forest. What I wanted to do was create one OU that can translate permissions back and forth between one another but the thing is that I have one server with 2003 created under one domain which is the parent and the other sitting under the child domain.
