Right now each server is only a domain controller for it's domain. As far as I can tell there is no forest at all. There is a two way trust between both domains but no forest.

I just started a new job and inherited the Active Directory setup from hell. So I am in the process of cleaning up this mess but I have a big project that needs to get done and it is way beyond my scope of knowledge as far as AD is concerned. Here is what I have; two W2K Active Directory servers in two different cities on two different subnets (192.168.1.x and 192.168.2.x). The two sites are connected by VPN via Cisco Pix 501's. I am at domain 1 and the remote site is domain 2, they have different domain names also. I can browse to domain 2 using the UNC (domain 2 or even 192.168.2.x) I can not see the other domain listed under My Network Places. I have replecation software that I need to use to replicate data from a server on domain 2 to the server on domain 1 and it can only use what is listed in My Network Places. If there is anyone that can help me solve this I will be forever in your debt!

Dugg it! Thanks for the heads up.

I put a 120GB hard drive in mine so if I want to take it to a friends house I can load up media on it and go. I have to admit that XBMC is one of the best "convergence" software packages that I have used. My wife, who normally cringes when I talk about a new project, thinks that it is so great she wants another one for our room.

I haven't been allowed to watch the whole thing yet. (I have a 4 year old on spring break and it's rained the last 3 days) but what I have seen was pretty cool!

Now it's time to wait for Computer Kid to come in and start hollering about thermite.

I'm pulling it down now and will let you know what I think after I watch it. :D
