I’m trying to setup a forest trust across a VPN. I’m linking 2 site (same company) in 2 different states. Both domain controllers are also DNS servers. Both are Windows 2003 with the forest set to the 2003 level. The VPN is up and running and both servers have secondary DNS for the other domain controller and can see the other’s network.
Every time I try to setup the trust I get an error saying it can’t be done on this server. This happens from either end of the VPN. There is no ports being blocked on the VPN. Also the admin account is the same on both ends. I’m wondering if the domain names are the problem. Our south server is ABC.LOCAL and our north server is ABC.NORTH
As I said everything else works but the share. Any ideas? I’ve run out.
