Back Round:
ok, i have inherited a 3 site company... site meaning physical properties in one comapny. One site no dc just a shared file server which imnot worried about well call site 3. Site one and two have there own forest and DC's and connected via a cable internet VPN. My issue of course is to bring them into one as there is growing need to share files\folders etc... To start off with I cannot even create a trust between them, domain and forest level are 2008 (not r2) no reason just what i stopped at as they were in various flavors of domain and forest level when i got here. I do not push down any GP's (as of yet), only use the servers at this point for authentication for file and folder sharing and DHCP.
Question:
Why cant i trust the domains?
Will migrating with admt 3.2 (to a site) be my answer if so what happens to the dc's at site 2 when i move them to 1.
ideas?
I have done this multiple times with 2000, 2003 but dont seem to be able to find the solution to 2008.
When i run the trust it fails right after putting in the information of domains i go no further, it gives me no details just says "cannot finish"
