           inter-forest migrations.

     4.7 Implement disaster recovery plans.

     4.8 Perform post-migration tasks.

5.0 Troubleshooting

     5.1 Troubleshoot a failed domain upgrade.

     5.2 Troubleshoot account issues for all types of migrations.

     5.3 Troubleshoot access issues for all types of migrations.

     5.4 Troubleshoot network services problems for all types of

           migrations.
