I have setup a two-way trust between 2 domains in
seperate forests. One is setup as Native (Domain A),
other is mixed (Domain B). I was able to verify the
trust without a problem. My next objective is to allow
administrators from Domain A to perform administrative
functions on Domain B. How can I add admins from Domain
A to the Administrators group in domain b. I have tried
with no success.

Thanks in advance.
 
To add users from another domain to security groups you need to use
universal groups, and to use these you need to be in native mode.
 
I don't think universal groups will work in this situation because of
the separate forests. Universal groups contain members of the same
forest. You can create admin accounts for them in the other domain.
Have you tried delegating admin rights to them in the other forest?
 
After posting my question, I tried delegating
responsibility, and it allowed me to give admin rights to
the administrators in the other domain. Thanks to all.
