Tried that - it won't take any type of user or group - Domain A can't seem to find any objects within the domain B - although A knows B is there and trusts it.
Thanks anyway.

Question
Accessing resources across a trust
Hello,
I have 2 seperate forests with one Windows Server 2003 domain in each.
There is a working 1-way trust between the domains (I can validate the trust from both sides of the trust, and resources in the trusting domain are accessible in the trusted domain). Domain A trusts Domain B.
Users in domain B need access to a directory in domain A. I have created a Domain Local group in AD in domain A with privilages to the directory. I have created a "Security Group - Global" in AD in domain B.
On the fileserver in domain A, I have navigated to the "Sharing and Security" of the directory that needs sharing and have accessed the "Security tab".
I have clicked "Add" to add a new group to the Access Control List. I have then clicked "locations" and I then have the choice of switching the location from Domain A to Domain B.
Now the SELECT USERS, COMPUTERS OR GROUPS dialogue box has the options:
Select this type of object: Users or Groups
From this location : Domain B
Enter the object names to select:
This is where i want to select my Domain Global group fom Domain B. But AD will not find the group - or any group or user from domain B, it only brings the "name not found" box up.
What stage am I missing please?

I tried to configure two test machines with windows 2003 enterprise edition and tried to create the same scenario and it worked for me, now here is my suggestion :
On Security Tab of the directory in Domain A.
1. When you select Domain B in the locations then click on Advanced and click find now without typing anything and watch if it is able to find anything at all from Domain B.
Cross verify that you see Domain B in the outgoing trust on domain A and Domain A in incoming trust on Domain B.
If this doesnt work then try to delete the trust and recreate it as it hardly takes a min time to create the same.
Update about the results, awaiting reply.
Here are steps which i followed.
On Domain A i opened domain and trusts and click new trust and click next and provide the domain name A.
Choose 3rd option One Way Outgoing and click next
choose 2nd option both this domain and the specified domain and click next
provide the administrator username and password of the specified domain that is domain B and cilck next and again click next
choose confirm outgoing trust and click next and click finish.
then try to add the group or user from Domain B to the Security list of folder in Domain A.
also check if there is proper network connectivity between file server and Domain A domain controller
Thanks for your efforts Sabby - very much appreciated.
I have left work for the weekend now so I cannot try out all your suggestions until Monday morning. Here is what I know already....
1. Domain A is unable to find any objects within A - I have tried numerous times, through advanced and even through command line.
2. The trust is outgoing on A and incoming on B - I removed the trust from domain B and recreated that side and verified correctly. Before I had recreated this side I could not verify the trust - there was a problem with the security control.
3. This set-up has worked for me in the past - i already have a security group from B in a domain local group in A accessing domain A resources. This group can still access the resource across the trust.
4. I haven't yet completely removed the trust and recreated it for fear of making the problem worse and losing the access i already have from B into A.
5. I only have a small network - the DC and fileserver on Domain A are one-and-the-same machine. Network connectivity seems fine.
So, I think you are right - I have to try completely removing the trust from both sides and recreating following the steps you mention.
I will report back Monday morning.
Thanks again,
Ben.
Hello,
Hope you had a good weekend. Unfortunately recreating the trust did not solve the problem.
I believe that the problem is within DNS as there are many errors in the event log of the DNS server (DC) in domain B. The log is littered with 3 distinct errors and 1 warning. Any light shed on this would be greatly appreciated.
(NB. "PDC2" is the DC/DNS server for Domain B)
