Can't remove trust

We've recently migrated from NT to Windows 2000 by creating a brand new
domain and moving all of the workstations to it. There was one application
that was requiring the old server, so we left the old one up and created a
trust between the 2 systems so that users on the new system could still
access the old one. We have now been able to move the last application from
the old system, but we found that when we removed the trust and shut down
the old server, the users were experiencing very slow network response
times. Is there somewhere else that I may need to remove a pointer or a
reference to the old system? I've taken it out of Active Directory Domains
and Trusts, DNS, and WINS - anywhere else I could look?

Steele,

You might want to see if you still have a lingering Trusted Domain Object
left behind in your active directory. Go into your AD users and Computers.
Make sure that its view is checked to allow "advanced features". Then,
expand your domain and look for a system folder. Highlight the system
folder on the right hand side then look for the data on the right side.
Look for any references to the old domain name with a type of "trusted
domain". If you do not have any trusts set up, you should not see anything
listed there.

If that is not your problem, it could be something as simple as a WINS or
DNS misconfiguration. If you do not have a WINS server set up in your new
environment, you might do so and see if that speeds things up. It should
help with any netbios name resolution requests on your network. Also make
sure that you have DNS running on one of your DCs and make sure that
everyone (clients and servers) points to your DC for DNS. Windows 2000 and
XP clients rely heavily on DNS to find DCs and get authentication for
network resources.

I hope this helps.
