Re: Problem establish trust between NT4 and W2K3 AD

Hi,

I have installed WINS on the W2K3 server and point all DCs (NT and AD) to
the WINS IP,
but still no luck ...

In my testing site, I had my NT4 PDC and W2K3 DCs trusted no problem without
using WINS or LMHOSTS file.

>From my understanding .. I thought I only need to use WINS if I want to
trust 2 or more domains
accross WAN or in different IP subnets .. or am I wrong .. ?

Hmm... I really need to get this sort out because without successfully
trusted,
I cannot continue my migration from NT4 to W2K3 AD and also Exchange 5.5 to
Exchange 2003.

I will keep my search going ....

TIA

Steven
