Hi All

We have a Wan link with another site. our site has a single NT domain1 and the remote site had a single NT domain2. we created another NT Domain3 the PDC sits on our and the BDC on there side, with a 2 way trust relationship to both sitesNT domain.

Our site 2-trust Link Domain 2-trust remote
Domain1 --------- Domain3------------Domain2

My site can connect to domain3. the remote site's main domain can connect to the new domain3. however there Exchange server is a member server in domain 2 and i cannot add any of the new domain admins to the exchange servers local account in user manager.

I receive the message unable to browse the domain no logon servers available, yet i can see the server in network neighborhood and I can Map onto Domain 3 in dos using the domain2 usernames/password.

Does anyone have any idea on this. if you need any more info or diagrams let me know.

cheers

Couple of things to work with:

Try adding static Domain entries to the WINS server(s) for your new domain. When adding a Domain-type entry, it can and should contain multiple address values - enter each DC address for the domain.

If your not using WINS, make sure that you have an LMHOSTS entry on your server for each of the domains in the following format:

#PRE #DOM:

Once the entries have been added to you LMHOSTS file, you can run nbtstat -R from the command line to purge and reload your names cache.

Hope this helps, -Ewing

Hi,
the second anwser is right !
NT trustreleationships are not transtiv.
That means if Site One trusts Site two and Site two trusts Site three,Site three doesn?t trusts Site one.
