Hi!

Have set up a new 2003 DC (company.com = A) and upgraded an NT4 PDC
(officeB) to 2003 and joined company.com (officeB.company.com = B)

Why can´t I see users/printers/resources between A and B?

If I try to share a folder at A to users at B, I can find the
officeB.company.com but no users?

What am I doing wrong? Shouldn´t it already be a trust between A and B?

What is your DNS setup ? Are all your clients and servers using the same
internal DNS server ?

Hi Matjaz!

Yes only one internal DNS at the moment. My intension is to put up a second
DNS at officeB.

So you created a child domain OfficeB or you have added that DC to existing
domain as aditional DC ?

So your DNS server for your forest is in your root domain and also a DNS
server for your child domain ? Check on your root domain DNS server that it
has records of your child domain and that your child domain can resolve your
root domain server and vice versa (use nslookup). Run dcdiag on your child
domain to see if everything is ok.
Create a domain local group in your AD and try to add members to the group.
In the add member dialog click a location button and select a child domain.
You should be able to search in the child domain.

Hi!

Everything about DNS seems ok. Dcdiag ok, nslookup ok.

(following at the root DC)
When I try to add users from "child" to a group at "root", I can browse to
the right location, and then I see all OU:s but no single users or objects
in any OU.

Can this have anything to do with that "child" is an upgrade from "nt4"?

Sorry to respond you a little late, but I'm just about to leave and will be
offline for about a month. Generally you should have ability to search on
users in different domains and we probably have a problem with user
interface. If you can rise your domain functionality to Windows 2000 native
then do it (make sure you don't have any NT4 BDC's around). In global groups
you can only have users from within the same domain as in domain local
groups and universal groups can see user accounts across different trusted
domains.
Sorry I can't help you more on this one, as I will be offline for some time.
It is time for me to take a vacation.
