Hello

I cant establish trusts between 2 Windows 2000 servers that are in different domains.
I have admin rights om both domain
The message i get is following..

The SOA Domain cannot be contacted
If this domain is Windows domain, the trust cannot be setup until the domain is contacted
Click cancel or try again later
If this is an interoperable non Windows kerberos realm and you want to set up this side of the trust click ok

Anyone had similar proble

It sounds like the name of PDC for the remote domain cannot be resolved.
That's usually a DNS issue. See this article for more information:

312003 - Unable to Establish an Explicit Trust Between Windows 2000-Based
Domains (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=312003).

What I would do is run NETDIAG and DCDIAG on each PDC emulator and see if
they pass the test. This will tell you whether there are DNS problems or
other AD related issues that need to be addressed. DCDIAG and NETDIAG get
installed as part of the Support Tools from the installation CD under
\Support\Tools. Run each with the /v switch and pipe the output to a text
file. Then you can go back through each file and see if there are any
failures.
