First off...
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
Secondly,
I think I should backtrack...
I am migrating from an NT4 domain (on Token Ring) to a 2k3 domain (on
Ethernet). I would like to tell the old domain to trust the new domain so
that as users & computers are migrated over to the new domain, they can still
access resources on the old domain. After all the users & computers are on
the new domain, I’ll migrate the data to the new domain and use login scripts
to redirect the clients’ shares to their new locations.
When I try to configure one-way trust relationship between the NT4 domain
and the 2k3 domain, I am able to contact the 2k3 domain and configure the
trust from the NT4 side, but I can not contact the NT4 domain to configure
the trust from the 2k3 side. I think this is a conflict with Token
Ring/Ethernet. (There is a Cisco gateway that connects the two.) I would
like to move the NT4 domain controller to Ethernet and try again, but am
worried about the implications of doing this. (Users still need to connect
to the NT4 domain untill the data migration is completed). If the clients
are accessing the server by name and not by IP, do you think that this will
work? Or do you think that it could be something other than the Token
Ring/Ethernet issue?
Thanks again,
- Paul
