If you have to resort to lmhosts and hosts files in a 2K3/2K environment, something wrong with DNS. Ahem... now that I have demonstrated that I am a genius at stating the obvious..... :-p Let's comment out the entries you put in those files and configure the DCs to not use lmhosts (in TCP/IP properties). Since the problem is manifesting itself on the 2K3 side, let's create a stub zone of the 2K domain on the 2K3 DNS servers. Let's make sure that DNS is functioning correctly on the 2K side and that no obvious errors are screaming at you in the event log. Then let's ensure that the DC(s) we will be using in the stub zone configuration can actually resolve records (especially SRV ones) without problems. Above all, we want to ensure that all DNS servers configured in TCP/IP are local - no ISP (I'm sure you know this already, but, remember, I'm a genius :)). Then let's restart DNS and netlogon on both side and see if we accomplish anything. Sincerely,

I'm in the process of migrating the 2000 forest to the 2003 forest because of a merger. I'm using NETIQ's domain Migration administrator to help in the migration. I'm running DNS and WINS and the WINS have the Push/pull setup between the 2 domains controllers in the 2 domains. Also I can ping both domain controllers and domain names. I also have the DNS set to forward to each other Everything was working and I was able to copy over some test accounts and groups. Today from the windows 2000 side I can verify the trust account. >From the Windows 2003 trusting side I keep getting "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request." I've used NETDOM to Query / Verify / and reset the Trust. I still get there are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request every time from the 2003 Side. I have rebooted both domain controlled and have added each domain and domain controllers in each servers Hosts and LMHOSTS files. Any idea on where to go next would be great! I'm going to break and re-setup the Trust right now.
