HI everyone,
i have two problems and i hope to be able to get some help from here.
Domain A: windows server 2012
Domain B: windows server 2003
Domain C: windows server 2003
Problem 1: i'm trying to set up a forest trust between domain(B) and domain(A) . i'v created secondary zones in dns and its replicating correctly. i am able to create a forest trust (incoming and outgoing) from my 2003 domain to 2012. However, when i create a trust from 2012 to 2003, it always shows me the option of either a realm trust or trust with a windows domain. It just doesn't show the forest trust option.
Problem 2: I'm trying to set up a forest trust between domain (A) and domain (C). i have created secondary zones on each of the domains. while domain(C)'s secondary zone is able to replicate a copy of dns records of domain (A), Domain (A)'s is unable to replicate a copy of dns record from domain(C). with dns not replicating there is no way i can create forest trust between both domains.
* All the domains are required to have a two way forest trust with domain(A).
* i have a few other domains running on 2003 and they have no issues on dns or forest trust with domain(A).
* each of the domain is in different location geographically and connected through vpn
* firewall is disabled for configuration purposes.
* does high latency affects the trust creation and dns replication?
Thanks alot in advance. =)
