migration between two windows forests

[junaid]

hi friends.
i have problems with my win2k domain. i want to build a
new windows 2000 domain in a new forest parallel to my
existing domain.run active directory migration tool and
transfer user accounts,computer accounts etc.
i am creating a new domain in a different forest on the
same subnet. i installed the ADMT on the target domaini
can see the ping the servers in the existing domain.
when i try to establish the trust relationship from the
new domain in the new forest it is showing me "RPC SERVER
IS UNAVAILBLE".Since i have to make trust work for
ADMT to run properly.

any suggestions kevin

regards
junaid.

RPC Server Unavailable - First logical step is to look at hows your DNS (or
other forms of Name Resolution).
You could create a simple LMHOSTS file and have the Domain Records for the
other domain.

Once you create a lmhosts, also make sure to
a) ensure the LMHOTST doesnt have an extention like .sam to it. It should
only be named lmhosts
b) nbtstat -R and nbtstat -RR
c) ipconfig /flushdns if you setup a secondary zone for the other domain
d) nslookup and see if you can resolve the other domain name
e) ping by FQDN of the domain

Make sure your DNS is setup correctly. Pls take a reference to this.
