Re: Potential conflict in creating external trust



External forest trusts rely on netbios names not dns names. Do the two
forests have the same netbios name? If not you should be ok, if so then I
would be surprised if it works. I just got two forest to trust one another
with the same dns name (One is an NT4 and the other is a Windows 2003 but
they share the same dns name space)

I was wondering if there might be complications in attempting to establish
an
exteranal trust between domains in 2 independent Windows 2003 forrests
with
the same fqdn root names. For example, a company has created an AD forrest
with 1 domain named abc.mycompany.com. The IT department creates a
seperate
independent forrest/domain named 123.abc.mycompany.com. The 2 domains are
on
seperate ip networks. NetBIOS is enabled and both are running WINS. DNS
servers in the 123 domain has their forwarders pointing to the DNS servers
in
the abc domain. Now they want to establish a trust between the 123 and the
abc domains. Anybody see any problems here? TIA....
