1. Domain Admin 2. No
3. No 4. Recreate it or authoritatively restore the objects for the trust from backup Thanks, Brian Desmond br...@briandesmond.com w - 312.625.1438 | c - 312.731.3132 From: Bill Monicher [mailto:bmacd5...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, November 08, 2011 2:50 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Implications of breaking a trust to a non-existent NT4 domain Our AD functional level is W2000Native. The DCs for the external trust are not available at the moment, and can't be without some work. No computer accounts or user accounts from NT4 domain exist. This is not a transitive trust, of course, but in Domains and Trusts, it shows that this domain trusted ours, and our domain trusted it. Some questions: 1. Does the user breaking such a trust from our end need to be an Enterprise Admin, or can a lowly domain admin do this successfully? 2. Are there any implications in breaking this trust other than have it disappear from the list, and have the error log messages stop? 3. Is there any advantage to digging out the backups and creating a DC for the NT4 domain and break the trust from that end first? 4. What is the backout method?
