Jan,

Just to add to what's been said......

1. Your success and mileage may vary according to the type of firewall you're using (e.g... FW1/PIX/ISA2004 - easy'ish, ISA2K - forget it) 2. Constraining RPC (by limiting communicating ports above 1024) should be considered an absolute must ... this'll need a registry change on every DC 3. You'll need to allow all 8 Domain A DC's to communicate thru the firewall to Domain B (and obviously vice-versa) as each'll need to set a secure channel to the target domain 4. If applying ACL's between domains (say on file and print servers), bear in mind that the FAP's will also require visibility to the target domain as well thru the firewall, i.e. rules as well
5. Are you planning on using MIIS/IIFP to GAL Synch between the 2 domains?

Regards,
Mylo

            c) The firewall should allow all ports from the VPN.

At least we tend to loose ours when the PDC emulator goes sick... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of [EMAIL PROTECTED]

*Subject:* [ActiveDir] ACtive directory Trusts and firewall configuration

Dear list!
I'm in the need of setting up trust between two existing Active directory domains and i have a few questions regarding this. the goal is that people can logon form either domains with their user credentials and that people can use resources in both domains, we also need the exchange addressbooks in both domain to replicate to each other but thats maybe a different list. Domain A has 8 domain controllers where as the operation master roles are spread on different servers, domain b has only 1 domain controller. We have configured a VPN between the networks so the communication is up and running. My questions are:
What ports do i need to open in the firewall to achive this?
And do i have to open trust from domain B to all of my DC's in domain A or is it enough to open towards any DC or a specific DC? (wich server roles does it need) Many thanks in advance.
Med vennlig hilsen / Best regards
