Forest to forest trust question 1

[quake11]

I would like to know if anyone has any ideas about how you would establish a trust between two AD 2003 domains where one is still in mixed mode. We have a Web server and our DNS servers in our DMZ. We want to be able to remotely manage the resources from inside the corporate structure but maintain a separate security space for oblivious reasons. The items in the DMZ are in a separate domain. I know that in order to have a trust between two forests all domain controllers on both sides have to be 2003 and all domains have to be in naitive mode. Not possible at this point. Any ideas would really be appreciated.

Thanks

quake11,

If you're trying to create a trust between two domains in different forests, then you could use an external trust. Forest trusts, as you pointed out, require native mode for both forests.

Thanks for the response. I'm doing my homework on the concept. I'll let you know how it turned out.
