Cannot find domain controller from NT in Child Domain

[surfk4t]

Folks,

Can you help. We are upgrading our old Novell servers to Windows 2000. In the HO everything is ok. We have a Win2000 ADC work fine, with PDC emulation for Exchange 5.5 on Windows NT 4.0.

I am setting up a new server for one of our branches, its a child domain. When I am logged on the Child Domain, using a Child Domain Account, I can get access to all the resources on a Windows 2000 machine, but not no the old Windows NT domain. I have checked the trusts on W2K and NT4.0 and they are ok, I think. Both have each listed in there trust listing.

What am I doing wrong. Does the Child Domain need a PDC emulator so the old Domain machine can check for SIDs?

Help!

Cheers Bert

setting up trusts is half the story once they are established

goto the directory on the NT4 server you want to give access and ensure you add the users and groups of the AD domain with read write etc etc

(when you set up the trusts you are able to see the groups and users of the other domains etc for adding or denying etc

hope this helps "Work to live, don't live to work"

Thanks for your comments. Have got it working fine now. I had moved the child-domain to another subnet and thus it, the old NT machines could not contact the machine. Apparently, they question WINS for the domain logon server in the child domain, and if thsi get out of date or not contactable, thay will not see the child-domain DC.

Thanks again
