Administering another domain?

[Jackal]

Say there is a Domain A and Domain B. They are both on
the same physical network but have different subnets. Is
there any way to adminster Domain B from a computer on
Domain B without having to setup a trust?

For example, if i'm on a computer in Domain A, i can map a
drive from a DC on Domain B and thus authenticate just
fine. However, if i go into Active Users and Computers on
this same computer, after mapping the drive, only Domain A
shows up and i cannot connect to Domain B and manage the
users there. I realize i can just NetOp into the DC on
Domain B and administer it that way but was curious if
there was any way to do it from my PC without setting up a
trust.

On domain A, you can use 'runas' command to run with administrative credentials of domain B using '/netonly' option and run AD management tools this way. Then you should target the tools against domain B.

Does this help?

This worked great. Thanks!
