Thank you for your reply.

I can ping the the trusted domains DC and nslookup also gives the correct
answer.

I tried the connection from an ancient Windows NT member server that is used
for a legacy application. It's user manager also complains that it can not
connect to the trusted domain.

I've read these KB articles. We have secondary dns zones created and a guest
account is disabled in the trusted domain.

Hello NetGear,

Thank you for posting.

Based on my experience, this issue is usually caused by DNS name
resolving.
Therefore, please first double check that the DNS name of the trusted
domain can be resolved on the member server. You may use ping and
nslookup
command to test.

Please also verify whether this issue only occurs on one member server or
on multiple member servers, whether this issue occurs on other domain
members.

In addition, the following KB articles may also be helpful for you:

You may receive a "The server is not operational" error message when you
try to add a trusted domain user to a trusting domain
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=837328

Error Message: Cannot Display Objects from This Location Because of the
Following Error: The Server Is Not Operational
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=306980

Hope this helps.

Have a nice day!
