Hello,

I have trying to create trust relationship between new domain controler on
Windows 2003 server and with PDC Windows NT 4.0 server (Service pack 6a).
These two domains are in the same subnet and see each other in ping to the
domain name (the resolution done by the hosts file on each domain).

1. I am adding in NT 4.0 under trusting domains the domain with the
password.
2. I am trying to create "New Trust..." in Windows 2003 (adding netbios name
in "Two-way" and "selective authentication" then the password.

The results:
"The domain was in the wrong state to perform the security operation."

How could I make this relationship success?

Thanks in advanced,
Tal

SUMMARY
This step-by-step article describes how to establish a trust relationship
between a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based domain and a Windows Server
2003-based domain.

The creation of a trust with a Windows NT-based domain uses the Windows NT
trust model in a Windows Server 2003-based environment. Windows NT trusts
are one-way trusts between a "trusting" domain and a "trusted" domain. For
example, if you have a Windows Server 2003-based domain whose users want to
gain access to resources that are stored in a Windows NT-based domain, you
must create a trust relationship in which the Windows NT-based domain
trusts the users from the Windows Server 2003-based domain. In this case,
the Windows NT-based domain is the trusting domain, and the Windows Server
2003-based domain is the trusted domain.

NOTE: You must use NetBIOS name resolution to enable trust between the two
domains.

How to Create a Trust Relationship
You can create either of the following one-way trust relationships between
a Windows NT-based domain and a Windows Server 2003-based domain:
Windows NT trusts Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2003 trusts Windows NT
Or you can create a two-way trust where both domains trust each other.

You must be logged on to the domain controllers of both domains with an
administrator account to create a trust. When you create a one-way trust,
first create the trust on the trusting domain, and then on the trusted
domain.

Windows NT Trusts Windows Server 2003
To create a trust relationship in which a Windows NT-based domain trusts a
Windows Server 2003-based domain:
On the Windows NT-based primary domain controller (PDC):
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then
click User Manager for Domains.
On the Policies menu, click Trust Relationships.
Click the Add button that corresponds to the Trusted Domains box. The Add
Trusted Domain dialog box appears.
In the Domain box, type the Windows Server 2003-based domain name without
the .com portion of the domain name. For example, if the Windows Server
2003-based domain is Example.com, type Example.
In the Password box, type a password for the trust.

NOTE: You must use the same trust password on both the domain controller
from the trusting and the domain controller from the trusted domain.
Click OK. The following message appears, where Windows Server 2003-based
domain name is the name of the Windows Server 2003-based domain and where
Windows NT-based domain name is the name of the Windows NT domain:

The trust relationship could not be verified at this time. If you find that
it was not established, contact the administrator of the Windows Server
2003-based domain name domain and verify that it includes Windows NT-based
domain name on its list of trusting domains.
Click OK. Note that the Windows Server 2003-based domain is listed in the
Trusted Domains list.
In the Trust Relationships dialog box, click Close.
On the Windows Server 2003-based domain controller:
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then double-click Active
Directory Domains and Trusts.
In the Active Directory Domains and Trusts snap-in, right-click the domain
that you want, and then click Properties.
Click the Trusts tab, and then click New Trust.
The New Trust Wizard appears. Click Next to continue.
Type the NetBIOS name of the Windows NT domain for this trust. For example,
type supplier01-int, and then click Next.
In the Direction of Trust window, click One-way: incoming
Users in this domain can be authenticated in the specified domain, realm,
or forest.
Click Next, and then in the Trust password box, type the same trust
password that you used on the Windows NT-based domain controller. Type the
password again in the Confirm trust password box.
Click Next, review your settings, and then click Next.
A message similar to the following message appears

Trust relationship created successfully.
Specified domain: supplier01-int
Direction:
Incoming: Users in the local domain can authenticate in the specified
domain.
Trust type: External
Windows will authenticate users from the specified domain for all resources
in the local domain.
Transitive: No
Sides of trust: Created the trust for this domain only.
where supplier01-int is the NetBIOS name of the Windows NT domain for this
trust. Click Next, and then click Yes, confirm the incoming trust.
Type the user name and password of an account with administrative
privileges for the specified domain, and then click Next. A message similar
to the following message appears:

Completing the New Trust Wizard
You have successfully completed the New Trust Wizard.
Status of changes:
The trust relationship was successfully created and confirmed.
Click Finish to close the wizard, and then click OK to close the domain
properties dialog box.
Quit Active Directory Domains and Trusts.
The trust is created. The Windows NT-based domain trusts accounts from the
Windows Server 2003-based domain. However, this trust is a one-way trust.
The Windows Server 2003-based domain does not trust the Windows NT-based
domain accounts.

Windows authenticates users from the specified domain for all resources in
the local domain. This option is preferred when both domains belong to the
same organization.
Allow authentication only for selected resources in the local domain
Windows does not automatically authenticate users from the specified domain
for any resources in the local domain. After you finish this wizard, grant
individual access to each server that you want to make available to users
in the specified domain. This option is preferred if the domains belong to
different organizations.
Click Next, and then type a password for this trust in the Trust password
box. You must use the same password when you create this trust relationship
in the specified domain. After you create the trust, Active Directory
periodically updates the trust password for security purposes. Type the
password again in the Confirm trust password box, and then click Next.
Review your settings, and then click Next.
A message similar to the following message appears

Verify a Trust
To verify that the trust relationship is working, follow these steps on the
Windows Server 2003-based domain controller:
Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then
click Active Directory Domains and Trusts.
In the console tree, right-click the domain that contains the trust you
want to verify, and then click Properties.
Click the Trusts tab, and then under either Domains trusted by this domain
(outgoing trusts) or Domains that trust this domain (incoming trusts),
click the trust to be verified, and then click Properties.
Click Validate.

Troubleshooting
When you try to create a trust between domains, you may receive the
following error message:

Could not find domain controller for this domain
This error message can occur for the following reasons:
Networking issues

Make sure that both computers are using TCP/IP and that you can connect to
the other computer by using a network utility such as Ping.exe.
Name resolution issues

Make sure that the Windows NT-based domain controller can resolve the host
name of the Windows Server 2003-based domain controller, and that the
Windows Server 2003-based domain controller can resolve the NetBIOS name of
the Windows NT-based domain controller. If you cannot resolve the NetBIOS
and host names, create an entry in the Lmhosts file on each domain
controller that specifies the location of the other controller.For
additional information about how to create and modify Lmhosts files, click
the article numbers below to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:

Trust issues

You may have to set the RestrictAnonymous value to 0 to establish the
trust. For additional information, click the following article number to
