Robert Bollinger I am afraid that I am no help here. It's been a long time since I even looked at a resource forest and I have no test lab to play with that has a resource forest.
Ok thanks for the response. Do you know who might be able to take a look at this and do a quick review? I found several links on this, namely fro Japp W. But as with all things exchange things aren't always what they seem.
The reason why i am asking is because this is for a large enterprise business. so i want to get some additional input.

I worked a little on the issue over the weekend, and setup a new test environment. Exchange 2013, new office 365 tenant. Setup a standard resource forest/account forest. I have been commenting on one of Jaap's posts. my comments all the way at the bottom.

- I wonder if ADMT might work here?
- How would one install Exchange in the Account forest? (To manage objects, once the Resource Forest is gone).
Since AD connect would be installed in the account forest and then connected to both Environment's Directories for sync purposes, I thought ADMT might do the job, but i just cant be sure. Tomorrow i am going to see if/what i can test.
Brian, Tony Redmond said you may be able to assist. Paul, you have provided valuable insight in the past which is why i suffered you into this. Thanks in advance.
