Referral means you ask a DC in Domain A for an object in Domain B. Your LDAP client code has to support and be configured to "chase" referrals.
DSIDs provide the file and line number in the AD code that the error occurred at. They will vary by OS version, service pack, and even hotfix or security patch level. If you've got access to source, they're useful, otherwise they're useless.

I haven't a clue about the Quest stuff, but I looked up 0x202B and got ERROR_DS_REFERRAL, "A referral was returned from the server". I can't find any useful documentation on what that error actually *means*, but, if I had to guess, I would guess it means a question was asked of a DC, and the DC said "ask this other guy". You say it works for your local domain but not the trusted domain. Perhaps your local DC, when asked for details about the trusted domain, is saying to go ask a DC in that trusted domain (reasonable), and the Quest tools aren't handling that for some reason. I also Googled "DSID-031006E0". It appears lot of other people are getting similar symptoms, but answers seem in short supply. Maybe contact Quest for support? -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
