Hi,

I have two Windows Server 2003 domain controllers in two separate domains
(one per domain). Both domains are at the Windows Server 2003 functional
level. Both have DNS installed for their own domains are are secondary DNS
servers for each other.

On SERVER1 in DOMAIN1, when I go into AD Domains and Trusts and try to
establish a trust to the other domain, when I type in the DNS name (or the
NetBIOS), I get the following message:

New Trust Wizard
Trust Type
The name you specified is not a valid Windows domain name. Is the specified
name a Kerberos V5 realm?

Then you can select the "appropriate" trust type: either "Realm Trust" or
"Trust with a Windows domain"

I've tried both and neither work.

Any ideas?

Is the domain single labelled? That is, is it domain-name as opposed
to domain-name.com?

Does it have any weird characters in it?

Does this work the other way?

Are you sure DNS is working? Can you resolve:

nslookup -type=srv _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.domain-name.com


From the other domain?

Hi Paul,

I had asked him for some config info from both of the Domains, (ip[config
/all) to help determine if a single label name, and which is 2003 level, the
forest or just the domain, because I wasn't sure from reading his post.

For Seth: If forest, of course, it would use DNS, but if external, it would
only need NetBIOS name resolution support.

Good to hear. I assumed you had created secondaries of that too.
