Hello,

I have run into a problem of having object collisions of domain names that
is preventing me to delete a Domain Trust on a Windows 2000 domain so as I
can re-create it.

Currently the conflict arises from 2 separate domains, one based on Windows
2000 and the other on Windows 2003 AD. Due to a combination of events a
certain trust relationships were broken and needed to be recreated. However
in my rush I worked on a secondary DC of the Windows 2003 AD that was located
at a separate site. While this server was replicating the changes to the
primary site, our Netscreen device happened to filter out all outbound AD
traffic from the primary site. My secondary service in the 2nd site did not
receive the replication updates. At this time I'm guessing that multiple
object collisions occured during the Trust relationship delete/rebuilds. Now
I have a situation where on Windows 2000 AD I cannot remove a nonexisting
trust to the Windows 2003 whatsoever. Any help on recovering from this?

Here's what I get when I run support tools search.vbs.
