Active Directory Trust Problem 1

[ghalechyan]

I have two domains.

Domain domain1.cb.aic.net
DC comp1.domain1.cb.aic.net
IP 192.168.1.44


Domain domain2.cb.aic.net
DC comp2.domain2.cb.aic.net
IP 192.168.170.60

All is OK width my DNS, I would like to create trust between them, on the last screen i receive an error "can not create file, when that file already exists". Where that file about trust located ? Can i delete or modify it ? The second domain was just installed , the first never had trust between a domain width second's name. (But widt same Ip address was).

From looking at your description I can only guess that the issue has to do with both domains sharing the same name space (cb.aic.net). I have not run into this problem because I have not set up trusts between domains under this circumstance, so bear with me - just trying to help...

Since they a disjointed domains I am assuming you are setting up forwarders in you DNS using the domain name and IP addresses of the domain's DNS server(s). If not, try setting up fowarders on all DNS servers pointing to the DNS servers of the opposite domains, does this work? And if so where you able to set up the trust.

The other thing I would try, if possible. Is to rebuild domain2 as a child domain of domain1. So its namespace would look like this Domain2.Domain1.cb.aic.net

There should be a trust between these domains already (if you are running an Active Directory forest). Why should you create one?

KMK I agree with what you are saying but if you look closer at the description you would see that the domians are disjointed.

Domain1.cb.aic.net
Domain2.cb.aic.net

If there were a trust between these domains already, and assuming that domain2 would be a child domain of domain1, Then the namespace for domain2 would be as follows:
Domain2.Domain1.cb.aic.net

This is what makes me believe that when each domain was built they were built in separate forrest, hence my suggestion of rebuilding Domain2 as a child domain.
