Hi

Can anbody please point me towards some (idiot proof) instructions for setting up trusts between NT4 and W2K domains. Any help is appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks Unixfan

That's a great help - thanks

 

Maybe I spoke too soon...

I'm still having problems getting the NT4 PDC to find the trusted W2k domain controller. Here's the full scenario:

We have an NT4 network one site (domain A) and a W2k network on a remote site (domain B). We have installed a DC for domain B at site A and it is linked back to site B via a VPN. This works fine. This DC is patched into the switch at site A but that's where the link ends. We want users to log on to the NT4 domain and be able to access resources on domain B via the gateway and VPN and vice versa.

When I try to add the W2k domain to the trusted domains on the NT4 server it cannot find the DC. Is this a netbios name issue? How should I go about resolving this?

Cheers

 

Is the Active Directory running in Native or Mixed mode ?

 

More info

The W2k domain is running in native mode.

One thought I had was to enable netbios over tcp/ip for the network card on the W2k DC on the NT4 site. If they are connected to the same switch will this allow the NT4 server to 'see' the W2k server?
