How do you add a second domain in windows nt 4.0?

Hi, in NT4.0 you connect two domains via a trust - the trusting domain trusts the trusted domain. To do this, go to admin tools |user manager for domains. On the menu, click on policies, then trust relationships. From the domain to be trused, enter the name of the trusting domain (lower box)by clicking on add - enter the name of the domain and the admin password; then from the domain that is trusting, enter the name of the trusted domain (make sure you use an admin account with the same password - there is also a pretty good explanation of this process in the help box under trust relationships). This should go smoothly, but if you have problems such as one domain cannot find another, make sure your connection between the two domains is working properly. Hope this helps
