Trusted domain Users

Hi Everyone,

I have 2 W2K server on the same network. Each are a domain Controller for their own domain, so I believe I have 2 Forests. I will call them Domain A and Domain B. I have set a one way trust to Domain B and verified that it was working. When I want to logon from the DC of Domain A, I now get the option to select Domain A or Domain B. Here's the problem. I need a couple of users from Domain B to have admin rights on the DC of Domain A. The DC of Domain A is a terminal server. I open Active Directory for Users on the DC of Domain A, logged in as Administrator of the DC of Domain A, and open properties for Domain Admin group. I click member of and select the Domain B from the drop down list. This only shows me the groups on Domain B not the users.

How do I add users from Domain B to the Domain Admin group of the DC on Domain A

Thanks

 

Instead of clicking on the Member Of you'll want to click on Members to add users to the group. The Member Of tab is where you can manage what groups the Domain Admins group is a part of.

As a side note, in your situation I believe you really have one forest that contains two domains.

 

I found that I had to add the users to the built in administrator group under members. In here it allowed me to choose both domains and see all users and groups within. The Domain Admin group would only let me see my domain users. Thanks.

 

Good catch!
