You are partially correct. I have a network trace from a W2K system in
Domain P succesfully allowing me to grant privleges in Domain A. I do WINS
replcation with Doman A. I also can succesfully connect to Domain O for
which I have static WINS entries. I see the W2K system actually do an DNS
lookup and an NBT lookup at the same time. It then uses that information to
make a NETBIOS over IP connection. As part of the process, the W2K station,
actually passes my userid to the Trusting DC and then it gets back a list of
users. However, when attempting to contact the DC for the Trusting domains
that fail, it does not pass any credentials or logon ID. What I do not
know, is why the different behavior. It works with Domains I have static
WINS entries and with domains that I have WINS replication. Conversly, it
fails with Domains I have static WINS entries and with Domains I do WINS
replication with.
