Trust between 2000 and 2003

[Guest]

I''m having a problem with a trust relationship between Wndows 2003(SP1) and
Windows 2000 (SP4). Does anyone have a resolution? My Windows 2000 domain
can't see the windows 2003 domain. They get a message no logon server
available. They both are running DNS for there own domain. Both having a
primary of itself and secondary is opposite domain controllers.
They are both on the same segment.

When I try to validate from the 2003 server to the 2000 server I get the
following error message: Windows cannot find a domain controller for the
DC-M.com domain. Verify that a DC is available and then try again.
I had it working and it just stopped.

Please help

Do you have WINS installed and configured? Both DC's from both domains need
access to the same WINS database.

I believe in order to setup an external trust, you require netbios name
resolution, fulfilled by the above.

Or, you can use lmhosts files. Just make sure that the files are
'formatted' properly. Have not done any WIN2000 - WIN2003 trusts just yet.
Have for several WINNT 4.0 - WIN2000, though. I always use netdom - a
utility from the Support Tools to do this.
