Hi, You do not mention the type of trust you want to create but between a W2K and W2K3 forest you can only create external trusts. For more info see: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/windowsserver2003/library/ServerHelp/b30ef067-746e-4453-b879-804259aafdd3.mspx Cheers, Jorge

Personally, I would leave a DC as vanilla as possible. The more cr** installed, the less reliable the DC will become and the more deviation will exist within the DC real estate itself, which can only add to your TCO. Why not create a _vbscript_ to do this instead? I don't have an example
