Trusting two domains - different forests

P

Pam

Hi,

We are having trouble establishing trust between two
organisations in two locations in two forests

We are getting the domain could not be contacted error. we
have a mixed mode 2000 domain here (we use wins) and it a
pure windows 2000 domain on the other side. We have made
the suggested change to LMHosts on either sides. Can some
one please tell me what exactly needs to be done on DNS.
We tried adding a secondary zone and resulted in problems
with mail.

Can anybody please share their thought on this please. Is
there something basic we are missing.......

Thanks a lot

You need to add a secondary zone in DNS for the domain. If this domain name
is used for external email or web you will need to add the host "www" and
point it to the ipaddress of the web server and a host mail.domain.com and
give it the ip address of the mail server.

On the other domain you will need to create a secondary zone in DNS for the
other site.
