DNS across domains

I believe this is a DNS problem but not sure ....

I have Domain A and Domain B, Domain B is an external one-way trust, in that
Users in A have access to resources in B. When I add a user from A to a
resource in B, I can browse the AD users and computers to add the
permissions. When I close all dialog boxes, check the permissions all I get
is a SID number.

Domain B is not resolving the user names.

thanks

That would be an NTLM issue, which is based on NetBIOS, not DNS. Is NetBIOS
name resolution supported between the locations of the two domains? WINS
would be the answer here.

If the problem is that it just comes down to the ACL just showing the SID
numbers and takes forever to resolve the associated user/group account, it
can come down to how busy the DCs are and/or WAN links. Since I am not aware
of your network configuration and topology, I would be guessing at this
point. I've seen overloaded DCs and/or WAN links cause this same thing.
Otherwise, if the user/group still has access to the resource, I wouldn't
worry too much.
