The plot thickens. I remoted in to the other schools forest root server. I wanted to check the trusts again so I went in to Active Directory Domains and Trusts. I right clicked on the root of it and clicked connect to domain controller. Typed in my own schools domain name and got "The configuration information describing this enterprise is not available. No authority could be contacted for authentication." Yet when I log on to my own schools forest root and attempt to connect to the other school's DC in the same way, it works perfectly.

Hi, thanks for the suggestions. A 2 way trust has been set up, sorry for not being clear on this. I have tried logging on during "off-peak" hours with little to no network or internet traffic but this does not help. I realsied last night that I had not pointed the workstation to the other schools DNS. Once i did this, rebooted the machine and tried again, I got a new message "Unable to log you on because of account restrictions". The account has full admin rights on the other schools network. Any ideas? Phil

Hi, My school was recently federated, and as such I have been asked to give the teachers the ability to log on to both schools with the same username and password and with the same Home area and shared drives. We are a kent school and both schools are using the same Internet service provided by EIS. As such, the easiest and least expensive way to link the schools was to open up the ports between both schools. I am now able to remotely log on to their servers and vice versa. This is where things get shakey. I thought the best way to give the teachers what they need was to set up domain trusts (which I have never done before) and then give them the option of which domain to login to on the logon page. I believe I have set up the domain trusts OK. In My schools DNS I can see the federated school and vice versa. When you get to a logon screen here you have the option of which domain to log on to. SO I choose the other schools domain and used a username and password from their domain, but when I do this I get the error message "The system cannot log you on now because the domain is not available". COuld anyone point me in the right direction with this? I'm convinced that I'm either going about this whole thing the wrong way, or I've made some small error in the setup. Thanks,

Thanks for that. You're an absolute star. The only other "niggle" I have with things is that in the content editor, when I hit Enter, it pubs in VERY large gaps, instead of the usual single line, so it makes the formatting look quite off. Is that also something in the CSS?

Hi, First of all, great template and package! I am using the "eg_default" template and want to change the standard font type and size of all "paragraph" text. I've looked in CSS but can't find it anywhere. Could you point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, Phil
