We want to implement some policies for external trusts. We have been
using hosts and lmhosts files to assist with name resolution but we want to make DNS
resolution standard for all future trust relationships.
We have also been trying to make trusts work when the 2 domains are using NAT and it causes problems. So NAT between domains will no longer be supported.
We want to set these 2 standards in place but want to technically back up
the reasons why we are doing this. We also want to know if this is a bad idea for some reason or if we will have trouble implementing these changes on existing trusts.
I am looking for some reasons to support making these 2 things
standards. Can anyone cite a few?
You can assume that the 2 members of the trust are running AD in separate external forests.
Thanks!
