I have a client with two trusted forests. I would like to
use UPN logons for the users, but, I can't becuase they
have two forest. I want anybody to sit down on any
machine and logon with there e-mail address (UPN).

It works fine as long as the users is part of the same
domain that the computer was joined to. But a user from
forest 2 can not.

Has anyone done this?

How can I?

Is this Windows 2000 or 2003?

There's a feature in Windows 2003 called Name Suffix Routing (UPN Routing)
that will allow cross forest UPN logons among other things. If you have
WIndows 2000, this will not be possible.

Routing name suffixes across forests:
