Trust Relationship

[Justin]

Our company is running two seperate domains, corporate.com
(Netbios CORP) and internal.corporate.com (Netbios INT).

corporate.com is an NT4 domain and internal.corporate.com
is an AD domain. I would like to create a two-way trust
relationship between the two but am unsure of the
consequences of doing so.

Can anyone confirm whether or not a two-way trust would
create a problem?

If only one domain has all the resources that the other domain need
access to, you only need a one-way trust. If both domains should be
able to access resources in each others domain you need a teo-way
trust (which technically is two one-way trusts)

Creating a two-way trust is not a problem, just make sure you have
working netbios (WINS) name resolution. On common solution is to have
all DC:s using the same WINS Server...
