Trust problem

Following the guides in my MS Press book (Upgrading your Certification to
Windows 2003) on creating a cross forest trust with Windows 2003.

I have raised the domain level and forest levels to Windows Server 2003,
rebooted yet when I try to create any kind of trust i get an error message:

The operation failed. The error is: This operation cannot be performed on
the current domain.

I have tried domain, forest, one way in/ou, and am at a loss. Both servers
are on the same subnet, same ip range, i can ping DNS and IP. Only one
account on each server, it has full admin rights to everything. Nothing
shows up in event viewer and the rather generic error message is of no help.

Any suggestion?

Thanks


Happy New Year!

Did you get that from The Idiots Guide to Windows Server Repair or think of
that all by yourself

Is the other domain 2000 mixed mode perchance ? or even more likely
NT4? - if it is ...

Marlin (the PFY) Munrow - Remove Vroomfondle to email me

No all 2003 Enterprise, raised domain and forest to Windows 2003 level.

Here are a few guesses re. things to check. Probably all off the mark
but might trigger a thought:

1. could it have needed a "prep" tool to be run that you might have
forgot?
2. are there any replication problems between the servers? / have they
had time to replicate?
3. same subnet = same site. could this be confusing windows? i don't
think it should, but.....
4. seems possible that the raising of the domains to 2003 did not
"take" for some reason.....
5. DNS complete and okay?

Good Luck! Let us know the answer when you figure it out.
