If the domains are in the same Active Directory forest you should be able to
do it already. If they are not you can create and external trust between the
domains OR a trust between the forests if they are both in Windows 2003
functional mode. If you try such be sure that dns is configured so that each
domain can resolve dns to the other domain and conditional forwarding is any
easy way to do such. If you want them to access just one workstation you
might be better of simply adding the user accounts for these users to the
local users and groups on the workstation and have them map directly to that
computer using their accounts that way specifying computername\username to
access the share as they will be authenticating to the local computer user
account. In such case a trust between domains will not be required. If the
amount of users is large then domain/forest trust would be in order. The
link below explains more. --- Steve
