I have two forests. One at Office A (officeA.co.uk) and one at Office B (officeB.co.uk). I want to create a two way trust so that both forests trust each other.
In the Domains & Trusts, I create a new entry and enter the domain name to trust and a password. When I click ok it warns me that the other domain cannot be contacted. Now, the forests are connected via a vpn handled by a Cisco Firewall and each server is able to ping the other, and users at each site are able to access files etc by typing something along the lines of \\servername.officea.co.uk\files\myfile.doc I'm sure it must be something to do with the DNS of each server. Each server is running DNS for its forest, and has a domain entry for the other forest, with MX records etc (so that mail between sites goes via the VPN) and a few host entries to help the users with accessing the occassional file. The question is what the &^%$ do I have to do to get one forest to see the other in such a way that I can create a trust between them ?
