I'm a little confused now; in your original post you mentioned that you had a parent/child structure which implies more than a mere naming relationship, I understood it to mean that you have 2 domains in a single forest ... how many forests do you have and what are the names of the 2 domains (feel free to substitute the private aspects of the names, I need only understand their relationship to one another with respect to naming contiguity)?
If you have 2 forests, have you created the necessary/desired trust relationship(s) to permit suitable permissioning of resources? If you have only one forest, replication does indeed occur between DCs in separate domains. The config., schema, partial domain [for GCs] and/or application partitions do replicate as applicable. Again, assuming a single forest, please verify replication is functioning using any of the available tools (e.g. Active Directory Sites and Services). -- Dean Wells MSEtechnology * Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://msetechnology.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of V Lakshmi Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 2:47 AM To: 'Send - AD mailing list'; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Problem in assigning permissions to the user in parent domain over the shared folder in child domain I have not created the child Domain as an independent domain and hence the objects in the parent and child are not the same so I wont be able to verify replication as both the parent and child are independent. Is there anyway to enable replication even though the child and parent are different?? Thanks, Lakshmi >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/04/06 4:31 am >>> Yeah, that is the next question I would have asked.

The setup which were trying is as follows: 1- We have a parent domain and a workstation as a part of parent domain. 2- We have one more domain which is a child domain of the previously mentioned domain. A workstation is added to the child domain and there is a shared folder in the work station belonging to the child domain. We login to the workstation in the parent domain as a user in the parent domain and try to map the fileshare present in the workstation in the child domain. This operation fails saying access denied. We are unable to give permissions to the user in parent domain to the file share in child domain as it does not allow to add the user, in both permissions and security of the properties of the shared folder. We are able to select the parent domain in the locations field of the "Select users or groups" dialog. But when we enter the username in the object name field, we get an error that the object name cannot be found. Any help will be appreciated.
