Trust Errors

[Guest]

hello,

backstory:

We have two domains, one in the US and one in Europe. They were setup
independent of each other, they both have their own forests. I'm trying to
create a trust from the US domain to the EU domain.

When i try to verify the trust i get an error:

The secure channel (SC) reset on domain controller \\US-server.domain.com of
domain "us_domain" to domain "european_domain" failed with the error: The
security database on the server does not have a computer account for the
workstation trust relationship.

I logged into the domain controller in europe, opened AD users and computers
and added the domain controllers from the US into their AD. I made sure the
user i'm logged in as in the US is the same username in the EU, same
passwords, same group memebership, both are in the enterprise admin group.

I can't understand why this keeps failing.

anyone got any ideas?

thanks.

can you explain what you mean with: "and added the domain controllers from
the US into their AD"

Are you saying you created a computer account?

If yes? remove that as that is not the way to set up a trust

the procedure to setup a trust is explained in:
external trust (if at least one of the domains is w2k AD)

forest trust if both ADs are w2k3 and are in forest functional level w2k3

i right clicked on the Domain Controller OU and added a new computer.

These are Windows 2000 servers, that write up is for 2003. . . .
