trusts between forests

T

tonyl

Is there anyway to create a trust between two domains in
separate forests? they are both Windows 2000 domains.

Yes. But they will be non transtitive trusts like those used in NT4.0
Difficulty usually arises as the domain controllers can not find each other
from the other domain. One solution may be to ceate a secondary dns zone of
the of the other domain on your AD dns server. I suggest you post in the
win2000.active_directory newsgroup for more details/tricks/traps. --- Steve

Steven,

Actually when we create a trust between 2 W2K domains in separate forests
we will be creating an NTLM trust as opposed to a Kerberos trust (such as
an intra-domain transitive trust).

Since we are using NTLM we will intially rely on NetBIOS name resolution.
If the WINS servers for each domain do not perform any sort of push/pull
replication then one solution would be lmhosts files on the PDC Emulators
of each domain.
Within the lmhosts file you should ensure that they can resolve the 1B and
1C record for the other domain and the 00, 03 and 20 record for the other
PDC Emulator.
This is outlined further in KB article 180094:
