Windows 2003 Trusting Domain Issue

All,

I'm having an issue with a Windows 2003 trusting domain and a Windows 2000
trusted domain. The Windows 2003 domain is operating in Windows 2000 native
mode, and the Windows 2000 domain is operating in Windows 2000 mixed mode.
Not sure that those matter, but...

I have successfully set up a one-way trust, such that the 2003 domain trusts
the 2000 domain. I have verified this using the trust verification tool, as
well as by accessing the 2003 system(s) from the 2000 network using Explorer
(simply viewing the 2003 shares via UNC--not accessing resources). Which
brings me to the heart of the problem...

I am unable to make any use of the 2003 domain, as it is unable to enumerate
any information from the 2000 AD. Thus, I cannot assign users in the 2000
domain access to resources in the 2003 domain. Thus, my trust is 100%
useless.

I've read a handful of articles and Usenet archives, but there seems to be
no consistency in any of the scenarios or suggested resolutions.

If anyone can point me to an authoritative source that explains this
problem, or can explain exactly why this is happening, it would be
appreciated.

Thanks

Keith
 
Please disregard. I'm not sure exactly what the problem was, but a good ol'
"netdiag /fix" resolved the issue.
