Trust errors of DC unavailable

[GJB]

Hi,

We have a trust relationship between 2 forests, each with a no of DCs and
GCs. However when one of the DCs in forest A is unavailable (PDC role
holder), the dollowing errors are reported re the trust even though the
remaining DCs/GCs are online and reachable.
Any info much appreciated

You can check the trust between the two via netdom:

netdom trust trusting_domain_name /Domain:trusted_domain_name /verify

Thanks for the reply. The trust is valid, and can be validated, but it
appears that it can only be validated when one particular DC (holds all FMSO
roles) is available even though both are GCs.

Sorry unclear as to why this would be. This is expected with NT4 trusts
since it holds the sam file. Do you have dns on both DC's?

Yes, DNS is on all DCs in both forests

Are the servers that are reporting the errors pointing to more than the PDCe
dns server on the ip configuration?
