Adding a user from a trusted Windows 2k domain to an existing group

I have just successfully setup a trust (two-way) between 2 Windows 2000 domains.

Now the fun part, I am deleting "duplicate" user accounts from the remote site and only leaving the accounts on DomainB for the people who are stationed out there. Changing permissions on files/folders and shares doesn't seem to be a problem because I can pick a user from either domain for that.

The problem is, I want to add the administrator from DomainB to the DomainA Admin group. When I try, the only domain that shows up is DomainA and "Entire Directory" so I can't do it. I've tried creating a new group called domainbadmins and I was going to add it to the domainAadmin group but I still couldn't add members from DomainB.

I tried to make that group a local group, a global group and even a universal group (whatever that is) but no luck. I'm just wondering if I'm missing a step or is there some way to manually add users from a trusted domain?

Any help would be appreciated.
