Will a secondary zone for a domain trust allow me to query by NetBIOS name or just FQDN
I am going to be setting up a forest level trust, I already created the conditional forwarder for the other domain and can ping by FQDN.
I would like to be able to ping by NetBIOS name so I don't always have to type in the FQDN. Would creating a secondary zone allow me to do this or will I still have to use the FQDN.
Is there anything I can do to ping by NetBIOS name to save me typing?

OK, I am going to stick with the conditional forwarders and DNS suffix. I setup a one way external trust and I was able to confirm it works by giving RDP permissions to another user account in the other domain.
What I just tried to do that didn't work was to add user1 from domain2 to domain1into the AD domain admin groups. I only have the option to search in the local domain, do I need to change it to a forest trust instead of external?

I ended up setting up a two way forest level trust after raising the forest functional level on domain2 to 2003 server and then I was able to add users from the other domain like I was looking to do, thank you.

With regard to GNZ I browsed over the links you sent me. Would it be a true statement that GNZ is better for a larger organization that might have lots of DNS suffixes or an IPv6 environment?
We only have 1 conditional forwarder at the moment and I could only see us adding 1 maybe 2 more in the future.
