Hi All, I have a network with 23 PDCs. One in my main building and other 22 all over the country connected over 256k Frame-relay links. Well, these 22 PDCs are trusting and are trusted by my main PDC and vice-versa. I was using Windows WINS over NT4 doing replication in each places, but trying to solve my problem I?m using now a unique box dedicated to run WINS on SAMBA. All teh problems begin when I try to map or connect to a trusted machine on a remote node. I have three kind of situations. 1. The trust works fine. 2. The remote machine ask me for password to log in like there is no trust. 3. The remote machine sends back an error saying there?s no trust between the my personal machine and the remote host. Doing the same thing at the remote node trying to map or connect to a Windows or Samba server here in the main facility gives us the same three problems. Other curious thing is that sometimes you can map some servers and not others. These servers I?m trying to map are Windows and Samba and the problem occurs on both. The confs are all the same and the network conditions too. The old NT4 PDCs still are connected to the network as BDCs as we can?t took them of the network. As possible we are demoting them to member servers but this could be done in only one remote node. Even the main facility has it?s old PDC running as BDC. One more important information is when I create my trust I always get: Could not connect to server SERVERB Trust to domain DOMAINB established On saturday all the trusts seem to work fine but on monday it became a caos. There goes a sample conf of my servers: I would appreciate any help so it can save my skin.
