Re: Best Plan of action for 2 forest.......

They are vpn'd but do you have a firewall up between the two and if so which
ports are open?

HI, We have got two forests for our company now, one in the UK and the
other
in the US.

They are VPN'ed together over a 2 meg line and i have added DNS farwarders
so the computers in the UK can see/ping all the computers in the US, and
the
US comps can see all the comps in the UK.

I have tried to do a Forest Trust between the two but all i get back is
(This operation can not be performed on this domain) and i get this
"error"
on both the sides.

I have made sure that both DC's and both Forests are running at 2003
level.
Is there somthing i have forgotten to do ? i have read the prep stuff on
tech
net about how to set it up and bar the DNS there did'nt seem to be
anything i
needed to do ?

They are both windows 2003 standard version, do they need to be enterprise
to form a forest trust?

If anyone can think of a better way of making my networks more like one
network than creating a forest trust id like to no your options :D
