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

Read my article. It provides port numbers as well as a utility to check if
the ports are open.

The two are VPN'ed with a Netscreen Firewall and the VPN is currently set
to
allow any service/Port to go down it, what ports do you think i should
double
check ?

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
