Active Directory Domain Trusts

Hi All,

I was configuring the active directory the other day. Had to establish a domain trust between two forests . For that I had first ran dcpromo in one VPC and then did the same thing in another VPC , thereby creating two domain controlllers in separate forests . After that to establish the trust , I first Raised the ACtive Dierctory functional Level to the highest possible level on both servers. And then set up DNS servers .

I was not getting the Forest Level Trust in the DOmain TRust Window. So I ran the following command as per the link below to get the root domain name of each domain controller.

After I got that I followed the trust wizard again and this enetered the correct root domain name and I was able to establish the Forest Level Trust .

Hope this post might help anyone struggling with Trust Issues !!!
