Establish Trust with Windows 2000 Domain
Hi All,
I have 2 windows-2000 server DC in my organization on same network but different domain, and i want
to establish trust relationship between both of this, when i am adding
Trusted domain name and clicks on Add button it gives me an error that
"The RPC Server is Unavailable" but in Services RPC Service is Started
in both the servers.
so how can i start this RPC Server now.... ????

Thanks in advance!

Check events and give us more detail: ID, logs, etc. On both servers you have the same problem?

Be sure that you follow these steps:

Establishing a trust relationship requires two steps performed in two different domains:

(On server1 with domain1)
First, the domain(domain1) that will be the trusted domain adds a domain (domain2) to itslist of trusting domains.

(On server2 with domain2)
Then, the trusting domain (domain2) must add the first domain (domain1) to the list of trusted domains.

Establishing a two-way trust relationship (where each domain trusts the other) requires that both steps be performed twice, once in each domain.

Removing a trust relationship also requires two steps, one in each domain:

The trusted domain must remove the second domain from its list of trusting domains.

The trusting domain must remove the first domain from its list of trusted domains.

On one of the domain DC we were successful in establishing a nontransitive trust(under domains that can trust this domain). But from the other domain DC when we try to add the domain it gives "RPC server is unavailable".
status of RPC and RPC Locator services is Automatic started.

should we manually start Remote access connection manager and Remote access auto connection manager ????.

We had also planned to follow the same steps as mentioned.
we were able to create external nontransitive trust on the trusting domain. When tried to create a external nontransitive trust on the trusted domain we get the error "RPC server is unavailable".
We have also tried the NETDOM tool to establish trust. We get a message that "network path not found".

We are able to ping in both directions both with name as well as the IP.
