Recreated the trust and still no good. No errors in the event logs to post, I get the following message when I try to choose a name or group from the domain
The specified domain either does not exist or cannot be contacted. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Kingslan Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 3:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Cannot Contact Domain over External Trust Justin, My experience with this is simple: Sometimes, trusts fail. And, then the existing elements no longer work. It sucks, but it's true. You can reset and verify, you can NETDOM it to death - it's physically there, but no trust is home. As long as your WINS entries, DNS and/or LMHOSTS files are as you had them before the trust failed, you can do this. 1) Break trust(s) 2) Re-establish the trust(s) If it doesn't work, you should then have some event entries in the System Event log to post back here for us to get a much keener idea of what the problem is.

Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 1:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Cannot Contact Domain over External Trust I have a trust that has been working and all of a sudden with zero errors it has stopped. I have a NT 4 and a 2000 Domain with an external trust setup so that I can grant permissions to groups from the 2000 domain to resources on the NT 4 domain. When I go to the 2000 domain from the NT 4 domain I am not able to see a listing of groups or users. It cannot find the domain. DNS, WINS and the trust are all working and validated. What could be the problem? Justin A.
