The one thing I have never done but really need to do is set up a trusted share with another server. Can anybody point me to where I can find decent documentation on this or if it is an easy task explain it?

I am talking between 2 computers like ntserver and ntserver2.

If both servers are in the same domain then you can set up your permissions for the share when you create it and assign the appropriate groups the necessayr access. If the servers are in different domains then you need to establish a trust relationship. You would do this on both servers in User Manager for Domains. If there are no domains involved in you scenario then just supply a valid computername\userid when trying to map a drive to the share.

Thank you so much ...... It turned out this question wasn't as hard as I thought but sometimes we all have brain farts and the forum here is designed to help us with those times....
