Unfortunately I was not the one who set up this machine initially. I checked trusts and all were fine. So I starged checking WINS and found that the static IP setup had no WINS servers listed at all. I plugged them in and all is well.

I am installing some 2003 server machines in preparation for NT - A.D. migration later this year.<br />
When I create a share on these 2003 machines and try to add a user or group from another trusted domain I get the error ...<br />
<br />
the specified domain either does not exist or cannot be contacted.<br />
<br />
I can browse these domains and connect to shares there and I can connect from those domains to some test open shares on my NT domain. I don't want to use open shares.<br />

What could be the cause of this error?

Users and groups from trusted domains not available when setting up shares

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
