We recently upgraded our user domain to Active Directory. The upgrade process seemed to go well, but I am running into one strange glitch.
We have a second resource domain that is still NT4, where our Exchange 5.5 servers live. All of the domain controllers are SP6a with current patches. The recently upgraded AD domain has two DCs with SP2 and current patches. It is in native mode. There is a two-way trust (or two one-way trusts; however you want to look at it) between the domains. I have verified the trust via the AD Domains and Trusts snap-in. Here's the scenario: I joined my workstation to the upgraded domain - let's call it domain A. I then logged into my administrative account in domain A. I opened Exchange Administrator and tried to pull up the permissions sheet on our site, and received this error: "The trust relationship between the primary domain and the trusted domain failed. Microsoft Windows NT ID no.0xc00206fc." I then tried logging into my NT account, and did not receive the error. When my workstation is joined to the NT domain instead, I never see the trust error, no matter whether I log in to AD or NT. Conversely, when my workstation is in domain A, and I log into any AD domain, I get the trust error. I tried logging into different AD domains within the same forest (with accounts that had access to Exchange) and putting my workstation in different domains, until I narrowed down the problem. To clarify, this is what I see: workstation joined to: AD domain A (my upgraded domain) logged into: any AD domain trust error in Exchange Admin workstation joined to: AD domain A logged into: NT no trust error workstation joined to: NT resource domain logged into: anything no trust error workstation joined to: other AD domains logged into: anything no trust error Most of my users are joined to domain A, log into domain A, and access their mail from the NT domain. So, obviously the trust is working to some extent. I don't see any errors on the event logs on the AD or NT servers. My next step is to try recreating the trust, but if anyone has any suggestions or experience with a similar problem, I would love to hear it. -Kirsten ___ Kirsten Petersen Network Engineering Central Email Administrator Oregon State University 541-737-9187 ------ You are subscribed as [email protected] Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
