    can't create trust to external domain

    Hi,

    I have two Windows Server 2003 domain controllers in two separate domains
    (one per domain). Both domains are at the Windows Server 2003 functional
    level. Both have DNS installed for their own domains are are secondary DNS
    servers for each other.

    On SERVER1 in DOMAIN1, when I go into AD Domains and Trusts and try to
    establish a trust to the other domain, when I type in the DNS name (or the
    NetBIOS), I get the following message:

    New Trust Wizard
    Trust Type
    The name you specified is not a valid Windows domain name. Is the specified
    name a Kerberos V5 realm?

    Then you can select the "appropriate" trust type: either "Realm Trust" or
    "Trust with a Windows domain"

    I've tried both and neither work.

    Any ideas?

    Seth

    Can we get some more config info please?

    1. ipconfig /all from both DCs on each side
    2. Did you mean both forests are Windows 2003 levels, or just the domains?
    3. Are you trying to create a specific domain to domain trust (external NT4
    style trust), or a forest trust between the two 2003 forests?


    Thanks!

    The forest levels are Windows 2000
    The domain levels were Windows 2000 mixed. I had this problem, so one of the
    steps I did was move them to the Windows Server 2003 functional level.

    I just want a two-way trust between the two domains. I haven't encountered
    this error before.

    Thanks for your time,

    Seth

    Good to hear Seth!

    If you make both forests full 2003 levels, you can create a forest trust.
    Pretty cool feature.

    Yeah a forest trust makes all domains in both forests transitively trust
    each other. Neat.
