Hy. I need some help please.
I need to make a trust relationship but when i try verify
the trust allways receive this message from W2K Server:

The Secure Channel (SC) query on domain controller <Domain
Controller Name> of domain <Domain Name> to domain <Domain
Name> failed. An SC reset is attempted.

Thanks.
 
Paulo,

Is this a WINNT 4 and WIN2000 trust? I bet that it is. If this is the case,
then I might suggest that you forget about using the Active Directory Domain
and Trust MMC and use NETDOM. You can either download netdom2.exe from the
Microsoft website or install the Support Tools. The Support Tools are a
collection of utilities that make your life a lot easier and can be found in
two places: on the WIN2000 Server CD in the Support | Tools folder or on the
WIN2000 Service Pack CD in the Support | Tools folder.

In the case of a WINNT 4 and WIN2000 Trust the ADDT MMC just does not work
sometimes. You can have everything correct ( WINS replicating perfectly
between the two -OR- the LMHOST files is absolutely correct, etc. ) and it
just is not going to work. I have seen this several times myself. Then try
the NETDOM utility and it will work!

Here are a couple of links to help you along the way:
