The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Windows Domain AD problems

Asked by dsc18 in Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory

Tags: domain, trust, relationship, windows

I have a domain with only 1 site and two subnets. One subnet is for an office in the USA and the other subnet is for an office in the UK. Both Domain controllers are located in the US office. The two offices are connected by a PPTP VPN with a netscreen frewall at each end, the tunnels allow "any" service in both directions. You can ping all computers in either network from both locations and name resolution (DNS) is working at both locations as well. The problem is that I can not add a computer to our domain from the UK office, I get unable to find a domain controller or if I remove a computer from the domain in the UK office and then try to add it back in, I get "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed", so basically the machines over in the UK seem to be unable to communicate with the domain controller in this regard. However the other machines that are already part of the domain are still authenticating every morning when clients login for the day...

Additionally the UK office only has 5 computers total and they won't allow me to put a domain controller over there. The domaiin itself is in 2000 mixed mode and, all workstations are XP, I checked under "AD sites and services" and as I stated at the beginning we have one site (default-site) and both subnets are listed under the subnet folder. I've run DCDiag on our domain controllers and and everything checks out good...

Any thoughts on how I can get the ability to add machines in the UK office to the domain or even some diagnotstic tools I can use the isolate the problem further?
