Herb Martin,
Thank you for the reply.

As mentioned in my post, two DC's are seperate by itself in its own
forest. Both were installed seperately. Since AD requires DNS so both DC's
have DNS. Server A purpose was to provide IP address, gateway etc (even
though it has DC users don't login to this server). On Server B, some
users have to login to access files, access applications etc. Those users
when joining there computer to Server B domain (efg.net) its not able to
find. What I have done so far is:

a. Trust setup (results in SC error, fix?) on both Servers.

No additional trusts are needed (or usually useful) in a single
forest since all domains in the forest already trust each other.

b. DNS forwarders (do see SRV records) on both Servers.

NO.

IF you forward both DNS servers to each other you merely
create an INFINITE loop which crashes or causes errors in
the DNS service.

For Win2000, the standard answer is for EACH DNS Server
(representing EACH DOMAIN) to hold a Secondary DNS
zone for the "other DNS" server.

(There are other choices in Win2003 but these features don't
exist in Win2000.)

Make each DNS hold BOTH DNS zones (i.e., the zones for
each domain.)
