I am not sure where this needs to go. I need to establish a trust between the DMZ (2008) and a production domain (2003) where the DMZ trusts the production domain so that a service account used by production can write to a share in the DMZ. Do I need a trust for this or is there a simpler way I can do this without a trust. If I need a trust are there any good resources for creating a trust between a DMZ and a production domain. Whenever I try to create the trust it says that it cannot connect I decided to do a Realm trust and I was able to establish the trust who do test it? Thank you, Leto the just

The realm trust is not working, I am at a loss here. Thank you, Leto the just

Carl I don't know what to say. Not sure why you would think a non-Windows Kerberos V5 realm trust would work between two windows servers. Neither is a non-Windows Kerberos V5 realm right?. Not sure why you would place a DC in the DMZ. Not clear if we are dealing with two domains in the same forest or two different forests. It's not clear if the 2008 server is a DC except you write "between a DMZ and a production domain" Best I can do for you is point you to the ports you need open on the router between them for the microsoft trusts to work. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/179442
