Sharing with a Trusted Connection

Hello,

I just created a two way trust between two domains. I received positive results when going through the wizards. one Domain is Windows Server 2003 and the other domain is Windows Server 2008. Once my trusts were created, I restared the DNS Server and Client Services.

In 2k3, I tried to give the administrator from the 2K8 permission to access a share; however, when it try to resolve the name to the correctly chosen domain I cannot give the other admin rights/permissions to my local share. My goal is to give the 2K8 admin full control and receive-as permissions on the Exchange mailbox database (Information Store).

What did I miss, or what do I need to do so that I can give a member from the other domain permissions to a local share or resource?

Thanks,
John

Have a domain group in W2k8 called Migration. I created a domain local group called MigrationTrust in W2k3. I went to add the w2k8 group to the 2k3 group. I went to add the Migration domain group from the 2k8 domain and went to add members. I select "from this location" and choose the 2k8 domain. Then, enter the object name of Migration" and the name is not resolved. I receive an error message saying "name not found". This is the same error I was getting when I was setting up a trusted share for an individual user.
What is the scope of the group in your W2k8 domain?

The group is a Global group, and the Group Type is Security.
When creating the trust, did you specify Forest-Wide authentication or Selective Authentication?

Forest Wide authentication

The 2K8 server shows the outgoing and incoming wide trust to be Forest.

Maybe, theproblem is on my 2K3 server. The trust type is External on incoming and outgoing trust. The Authentication is Domain-Wide authentication for both. The Forest functional level is Windows 2000.

Both servers/domains are using my primary domains DNS server (yes there is a 3rd domain), and then they both point to the 2K8 server for secondary DNS.

I haven't setup a trust since NT 3.5 and that was in a classroom at Sequent. So, all this is really new to me.

OK, thanks. I think you have narrowed it down for me. For now, I will have to leave DNS the way it is because I need other resources. Thank you for your help, and this is the help I needed.

I created a fake trust. My goal is to give myself full permissions to both Exchange mailbox databases, and so I just mapped a drive with an account from the 2k3 domain. Exchange is happy on both ends with this.

These two servers are vmware servers so it this is a test environment.
