Problem creating an NT 4.0 trust

I am attempting to create a one way trust between two NT domains. On the PDC for the trusted domain, the admin is going to UserManager for Domains, Policies, Trust relationships, TRUSTING domain area. He is inputting the name of the trusting domain and is inputting an initial password. As soon as he clicks OK, he gets an "access denied" error. He is signed on as administrator for that domain.

What could be causing the access denied message?

Question: Does the account that the Admin is using have Domain Admin rights in both domains? If so, If you want Domain A to trust Domain B, then under trust relationships on Domain A, you must put Domain B as trusted. Let me know if this helps. The initial password only comes into play if you are setting up a two way trust.

Verify that the trusted domain can "see" the trusting domain either via WINS/DNS/LMHOST/Host.

try
adding the domain to be trusted to the trusted section in the trusting domain via UMFD.
then
add the domain doing the trusting to the trusting section in the trusted domain via UMFD.

You should be aware of which is the trusting domain and which is the trusted domain. the trusted domain is that domain where the users reside, and therefore the resources reside on the trusting domain. start setting up the TRUSTING part of the trustrelationship and after that complete the trust relationship with the TRUSTED part.
You must have administrative privileges!
