Hi all,
Any How To articles on setting up a Win2k trust between two domains?
Neither can "see" the other in AD, but each DC can ping the DCs in the other
domain. I checked the Microsoft support site but didn't find anything
relevant.
 
In order for you to 'see' the other domains, you need to correctly configure
name resolution. The easiest way to do this, and the way I do it and
recommend others do it, is to hold a secondary copy of the other domains DNS
zone in each domain. So, if you have two domains A and B, and wish to setup
trust(s) between them, you need to have a secondary copy of B in A and a
secondary copy of A in B.

There are other ways of course, but this is simple and painless. Just don't
forget about the client DNS suffix search list if these have different
namespaces...
