Trusts ??

[DJ]

All,

I have 2 domains. 1 is W2k NATIVE mode. Other is WinNT. Is
there a way to setup a trust between the two domains, even
though my W2K is in native mode? If so how?

TIA.

DJ

Yoy can create trusts between NT and Windows 2000 (even in native
mode)

DJ,

In addition to what Johan suggested ( BTW - really good link. Make sure to
check out the three or four links at the very bottom as well ) I might
suggest that you consider using NETDOM to do this.

When dealing with Trusts between WIN2000 and WINNT ( known as a down-level
Trust ) using the Active Directory Domain and Trusts MMC just does not work
sometimes. There is nothing that you have done wrong. Quite the contrary -
you have done everything by the book. However, it just does not work!

I have experienced this myself a couple of times. It can be quite
frustrating, to say the least.

NETDOM is a part of the Support Tools and can be found on both the WIN2000
Server CD as well as on the WIN2000 Service Pack CD in the Support | Tools
folder. You can also download NETDOM from the MS web site. I would suggest
using the WIN2000 Service Pack CD and installing the Support Tools on all of
your WIN2000 Servers ( DC or Member Server ).

HTH,

Cary
