Access NT4 Domain with no Trust

I have a quick question

I have a Windows 2000 domain, and would like to access a Windows NT4 domain
that has no trust with my 2k domain. My 2000 domain runs only DNS and my NT4
domain only WINS.

Can I access a resource in the NT4 domain on a member server by going
NT4Domaun\UserAccount without creating a trust, or needing to add resource
recored for the NT4 domain controller in my 2000 DNS.

I guess what I am asking is does the resource server I am accessing parse
the credentials or is it my machine in the 2000 domain that does?

Thanks
 
Hi,

I guess what you mean is accessing resource on a server inside NT4 domain,
from a client belongs to the Win2K domain, right?

It should have no need to create any record in Win2K DNS as it give no
effect as WinNT does not utilize DNS for NT domain operation. The success or
fail about that operation will solely depends on whether the client can
resolve the name of the server it's accessing or not. Once the client in
contact with the server, the credential you supplied with be used by the
server to query it's belonging NT4 domain controller for granting/denying
access.
