Can someone tell me if this sounds right before I try
it? I want to set up a one way trust from a 2000 server
to a 2003 exchange server. Both servers are DC's on
separate domains. The exchange server will be the trusted
server. The 2000 server will point to itself as primary
DNS, as does the exchange server point to itself. the
2000 server will have a "." in the forward lookup. It
will not have to resolve beyond itself. The 2000 domain
will need to be accessible by the workstations in the
exchange domain. A drive will be mapped from the
exchange domain for the 2000 server. 1)Should the
exchange server have the 2000 server domain name included
in the forward look up to aid in finding the 2000 server
or will the explicit trust itself allow the exchange
server to find the 2000 server? 2) Can I leave out the
gateway for the 2000 server since it will be a strictly
private use domain, or will it not mater since I included
the "." in the forward lookup (whats the best option for
performance)? 3)What makes this an external trust (forest
to forest) the one-way type of trust? or will these
domains actually be in the same forest? Please reply to
all or any part of this scenario. Thanks
