Hi guys and gals...I've inherited a rather interesting situation.
I have multiple domains in our school district that are separate forests. As I replace servers we are moving the district to one domain, but that is another story.
On one of my older servers, I have an old Tree Root level transitive trust that no longer functions. From what I've been able to gather, a new W2K server was set up and joined to the forest. They ran into problems with the new server and rather than dcpromo it out of the forest, they just reloaded the box.
Unfortunately, when they reloaded the box, they made it a domain controller with the same domain name it had previously. But they didn't join it to the forest.
So, my old DC is constantly trying to create the trust between the two domains, and my newer DC is refusing it. I really don't want the trust to exist.
However, when I go into AD domains and trusts, it only gives me the option to edit and verify the trust...not remove it. Is there a way I can manually go about this?
Thanks a ton,
