Hi,

We have a trust relationship between 2 forests, each with a no of DCs and
GCs. However when one of the DCs in forest A is unavailable (PDC role
holder), the dollowing errors are reported re the trust even though the
remaining DCs/GCs are online and reachable.
Any info much appreciated
Severity: Error

Status: New

Source: AD Monitor Trusts

Name: A problem has been detected with the trust relationship between two
domains

Description: The trusts between this domain (forestBdom.nhs.uk) and the
following domain(s) are in an error state:

forestAdom.nhs.uk (inbound), the error is:

There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.
(0x51F)

Domain: ForestBdom

Agent: DNS4

Time: 3/23/2006 17:51:45
 
You can check the trust between the two via netdom:

netdom trust trusting_domain_name /Domain:trusted_domain_name /verify

Thanks for the reply. The trust is valid, and can be validated, but it
appears that it can only be validated when one particular DC (holds all FMSO
roles) is available even though both are GCs.

Sorry unclear as to why this would be. This is expected with NT4 trusts
since it holds the sam file. Do you have dns on both DC's?

Yes, DNS is on all DCs in both forests

Are the servers that are reporting the errors pointing to more than the PDCe
dns server on the ip configuration?
