I am trying to get tech support to setup a one-way trust
between 2 WIN 2000 server domain controllers in different
forests. I try to use NET passport to post an email to
Microsodt tech support, but they want a product ID # of
the form xxxx-xxx... One of my servers has product ID
xxxxx-OEM, and they don't accept it. The other is xxxx-
xxxx... Microsoft seems to be telling me to contact the
manufacturer, but my new PC does not come with a tech
support phone number. Microsoft says they have an option
for $99 to submit an email to tech support. Is this $99
per hour, per incident, what?

The problem is that I am trying to set up the one-way
trust between domains in seperate forests, and it doesn't
work. I am able to see both domains and their machines in
Explorer, they can ping each other by name, I have all the
DNS entries setup. However when I add the trust it says
it cannot verify it and says the RPC server is
unavailable. I have tried everything I can think of,
searched all the MS knowledge base, etc.

Unless I can find a way to make this work, my recourse may
be to re-install the OS and set them up as domains in the
same forest. I will lose the security my client is
looking for, but at least I will get something working.

I wish I could post screen images of what I am seeing. It
is hard for someone else to understand without seeing what
I am seeing.

I really need someone to tell me what to do and where to
go to get some help, PLEASE!
