You can test the same from any DC assuming that there is no blockage or comminication issue between two Domain/forest.<a href="http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/67e97430-575a-425b-97a5-ac15804a4165/from-which-dc-could-we-verify-trust-relationship-" rel="ugc nofollow">http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/67e97430-575a-425b-97a5-ac15804a4165/from-which-dc-could-we-verify-trust-relationship-</a>

Hi<br />
<br />
We have a 2 way external Trust from our Windows 2008 Domain to a Windows 2003 Domain, <br />
<br />
When managing the trust relationship does any specific domain controller have control over it or manage it etc, when you are troubleshooting trust issues and looking for any event logs is there a DC running a particular FSMO role that you should focus on?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Question on Trust relationship - Does any DC own it?

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft.

Windows Server 2008

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
