Hello All,

I think that i many have found way my domain trust will not complete, i get the error message “There are no log on servers avaliable to services the logon request”.
When i go to vailidate the trust

I have found information on the on MS website, can someone have a look and just comfirm this is whats needed.

This is the format they say to write the files in, this is what lmhost files i have on the servers already.

On the exserver i have this lmhost file that points to the other domain as below.

***.***.**.11 AHSERVER2 #PRE #DOM:ANDRASHOUSE.LOCAL
***.***.**.11 “ANDRASHOUSE.LOCAL \0x1b” #PRE

On the ahserver2 andrashouse.local domain i have this lmhost file as below.

***.***.*.12 EXSERVER #PRE #DOM:EXHIBFS.LOCAL
***.***.*.12 “EXHIBFS.LOCAL \0x1b” #PRE

Now from what i read on the above site this is the format that should happen.

Create an LMHOSTS file on the primary domain controllers to provide cross-domain name resolution capability. The LMHOSTS file is a text file that you can edit with any text editor, such as Notepad. The LMHOSTS file on each domain controller must contain the TCP/IP address, the domain name, and the \0x1b entry of the other domain controller. For more information about how to create the LMHOSTS file, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
180094 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/180094/) How to write an LMHOSTS file for domain validation
After you create the LMHOSTS file, follow these steps: 1. Modify the file so that it contains text that is similar to the following text: 1.1.1.1 #DOM: #PRE
1.1.1.1 “ \0x1b” #PRE
2.2.2.2 #DOM: #PRE
2.2.2.2 “<2000_Domain> \0x1b” #PRE
The exhibfs is 2003
The andrashosue is 2000

Thanks,

Thomas
