| Create trust from the command line |
| While you can use the graphical user interface tools to establish the trust relationship between |
| Windows 2000 and Windows NT4 domains, you can do this much faster using command-line |
| utilities, such as NETDOM. |
| NETDOM is a multipurpose utility that allows you to establish trusts between domains, join a |
| computer to a domain, remove a computer from a domain, verify the trust relationship, and more. |
| Here's how to establish a trust relationship between two domains using NETDOM. If you want |
| domain A to trust domain B, type the following command in the command prompt, where |
| <AdminA> is the username of the administrator in domain A, and <AdminB> is the username of |
| the administrator in domain B: |
| NETDOM trust /d:B A /add /uo:<AdminA> /po:passwordA /ud:<AdminB> /pd:passwordB /verbose |
| You can also build two-way trust by adding the /twoway switch: |
| NETDOM trust /d:B A /add /uo:AdminA /po:passwordA /ud:AdminB /pd:passwordB /verbose /twoway |
| NETDOM is part of Windows 2000 Support Tools, a free collection of utilities located on the |
| Windows 2000 CD-ROM in the Support/Tools folder. |
