Trusted relationship over VPN

[Guest]

Hi all
I have 3 dc on my mixed mode windows 2000 AD, I will need to create a
Trusted relationship over a VPN tunnel to another windows NT4 domain.

Can anybody tell me the best way to do this?.

Thanks

If the tunnel is 'open' (in regards to filters) between the machines
then the most likely thing you are missing (assuming you simple
tried it and it failed) is WINS Server.

Since the machines are likely separated by at least one router
(not on the same subnet) then NetBIOS name resolution will
only work if you set it up (i.e., broadcasts won't work.)

Install a WINS Server and make both (sets of) DC clients of
that same WINS database by setting their NIC\IP properties.

All DCs in each domain will likely need to be such clients.
