don't know if this will answer your question but I will
give you a scenari of how I cross domains.

I am a tech that has an isolated network for a specific
purpose. I have no internet access to this network and it
is not connected to the production domain in any way.
Both are Win2k Active Directory. I use AD for testing
network connectivity issues to prove the computer does not
have a configuration issue. I am the domain admin on the
test network but I am a regular user on the production
network with a few extra rights. This is what I do to go
back and forth.

I move the computer off of the production network to my
switch. I log into the win2k production network machine as
administrator of the local machine.

administrator
password
local machine name in the domain field

I log into the testmachine computer:

username: administrator
password: password
domain: local machine or domain

I then map a drive from a machine on my test network to
the machine on the production domain. It is a piece of
cake. I go to the machine on the test network and transfer
anything to or from the machine on the production network.

The key is that you must know the admin password on the
local machine for the production network.

You can map the drive from the testmachine in the login
security box like this from the production machine.

map to \\testmachine\c$ or d$ or e$

username: administrator (of test network)
password: password (for admin of test network).

You can also map to the production domain machine.
Use the username administrator for the local machine on
the production domain from the testmachine.

Log in as the administrator of the testmachine.
Map to the production domain machine.
Use the username administrator (of the production domain)
and this accounts password for the production domain
machine from the testmachine.

It is easier to map to the local machine of the production
domain. The only way this will work for a machine on an NT
4 domain machine is to log into the local machine as
administrator.

Keep it simple by making the password the same on both
domains for the administrator account. I hope this is not
too confusing.

If you need any clarification let me know.
