Hi,
I understand that when you try setting up trust relationship between
Windows 2000 and Windows NT domain, the system displays the following
message.
"Unable to set up trust because the user account already exists"
Please try the following steps and check if it resolves the issue.
WARNING: This solution involves editing registry. Using Registry Editor
incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to
reinstall Windows to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any
problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.
Note: Make sure you back the registry before editing it.
1. Log on as an administrator to the domain from the PDC.
2. Start the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE)
3. Switch to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine window
4. Highlight the SAM key. The SAM key will be grayed out by default because
the administrator does not have full control for that key.
5. Give the administrator full control to that key and its subkeys. The
administrator should then be able to access that SAM key.
6. Remove the domain name of the domain you are trying to set up the trust
with from the following location:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SAM\SAM\Domains\Account\Users\Names\Domain Name$ (the
Domain Name will have a dollar sign at the end of the name).
After removing that entry from the registry, you should then be able to set
up the trust.
Hope the issue is resolved.
Thank you,
Rashmi
