Can't access non DC shares over a trust.

[Uplift]

I have setup an external two-way trust between 2 domains.

 

I need users from domain1.local to be able to access some resources from domain2.local and vice versa.

 

I have setup DNS and can ping both servers from both locations, all looks ok here.

 

The problem is when accessing shares that aren't on the DC, it gives a permission error:

 

\\10.83.123.6 is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permission.

 

There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.

 

From the external trust:

 

\\server1 (DC - 10.83.123.4) => this works, it pops up asking for network credentials.

\\server2 (10.83.123.6) => brings the error

 

Any ideas? can't see what is wrong.

Try connecting to the shares using an FQDN. I have found this the be the best way.

 

Thanks

It's exactly the same using the FQDN sorry should have said.

Erm in that case i don't know. It should work.

Did you setup a Domain wide trust or selective?

It actually started working the next day, must have just been some sort of delay?

i have found with windows 7 onwards i needed to add the dns suffix to the network adapters for both domains (if using the FQDN you dont need to). I also just use conditional forwarders rather than forward lookup zones.
