Separation VTP domain two buildings

Hello Cisco specialists,

VTP is a topic for itself and in my opinion with caution to enjoy!

I have a VTP domain in two buildings this I would like to separate.
At the moment, there is a VTP domain for two buildings.
There are six VTP servers in this VTP domain.

Two VTP servers in building A.
Four in building B.

I would like to separate these two buildings into two separate domains.
Later, all devices in building B should be transparent as VTP.
How can I clean this up without causing problems?

I have read that I in transparent mode all vlan must manually enter again. Is this really true.
If the vlan.dat in transparent mode is considered, if not I would delete them all in building B. In Building B, there are nine switches.

I think
1. Change domain in property B change to all Switches
2. Enter Vlans manuel
3.VTP to transparent mode.
4. Delete unnecessary vlans.

I have to thank

Hi changing to transparent mode doesn't wipe your vlans but it will prevent any further being added automatically from teh server switches and they will need to be manually entered any new ones  from then on , as well it resets your revision number in vtp when set to transparent
