Ah, finally, a reply - thanks! >From my (IL) network, an NYC DomainAdmin opens a remote session on an NYC DomainController.
We then did just as Microsoft (and you) said - the Properties tab of the NYC domain's AD D&T tool. At the moment, the Big Boss says to back off creating the trust until he can have some consultants around to hold our hands, so the next attempt will be several weeks from now. Whatever, though, should both domains have started off with a DNS A record pointing to each other's domains? It seems to be obvious, the the MS "How to..." neglected that.
