Re: Potential conflict in creating external trust

trust me... you can use DNS with external trusts if it concerns w2k or w2k3
on one or two sides. It is just like using NetBIOS... as long as both sides
can find each other

if one of the sides is NT4 you need to use netbios

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....
