Part III, adding foreign groups

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Ok, I have created the trusts and eraticated the metadata, so I'm clean and
ready to go. However, when I go to add groups from the other domain at the
other company, the domain name doesn't show up in the drop down box for
adding users/groups to the universal group, I just see the objects in my
local domain. What am I doing wrong? I know this should be a straightforward
process. Both DCs are in native mode, ours here is 2000 native and the 2003
DC at the other company is also 2000 native.
