domain trust

I am trying to create a trust between

AD.BOBO.COM and AD.FOOBAR.ORG

I am getting: the operation failed: the error is: this operation cannot be
performed on the current domain


Is this failing because the NetBIOS name is the same on both domains? (in
this case, AD)

???

Hello Blake,

What OS are the forests using? Between 2000 and 2003 you can not create a
Forest trust,forest trust option comes with 2003. How did you prepare DNS
for the trust?

Additional see here:
When you use Active Directory Domains and Trusts to create a trust, you may
receive the message "Operation failed. Parameter incorrect."
This issue may occur if you try to establish a trust relationship when the
source domain and the target domain have one or more of the following identifiers
that are the same:
Security identifier (SID)
Domain Name System (DNS) name
Network basic input/output system (NetBIOS) name

To resolve this issue, do one of the following before you try to create the
trust, as appropriate to your situation:
Rename the conflicting identifier.
Use a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) if there is a NetBIOS conflict.

I was trying to create a trust between two Windows 2008 domains in two
separate forests.

I found a post on ExpertsExchange suggesting that that NetBIOS name of the
domains couldn't be the same. I used the rendom tool on one to change the
NetBIOS name only, and everything worked fine after.
