We have setup a two way trust between a NT 4.0 domain and a W2k domain. It appears to have setup correctly but the administrator in the NT 4.0 domain only seees 15 users and the newly created users not all the users. Setup LMHosts files on each PDC as recommended by Microsoft Technet and they are resolving correctly according to nbtstat -c. Also created an A record pointing to the NT 4.0 PDC. Have recreated the trust with the same results and no errors.

I have a similar trust setup with the W2k domain to another NT 4.0 domain without any issues.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Scott

Wow....this is a weird one

This would be tough to troubleshoot without being there. Here's some things I'd check:

1) Can users from the NT domain access resources in the 2K domain and visa-versa?

2) Is the 2k domain in mixed mode or native mode (keep it in mixed mode if you can until you've decomissioned the NT domain)

3) Have you verified the trusts on both a Win2k DC (Active Directory Domains and Trusts) and the NT PDC (User Mgr for Domains)?

4) Try adding the "Administrator" account from the NT domain into the "Domain Admins" group in the 2K domain and visa-versa.

5) Can users from both domains log into the other?

6) Format C: ? (heh)

Let me know if any of these work. I've never seen a problem like this before.

To answer your questions:
(1) Yes the trust is working both directions
(2) It is in native mode
(3) Yes more then once
(4) How would you do this? I know how this is done between NT 4.0 but not in this mixed environment
(5) Yes

You need to add all of your old users to the domain again. Try it with just one to see if this puts you on the right track.

This works and due to a time restrain and a small domain this may be the temp. fix though not the resolution I was looking for.
