Hi. this company has just bought out another company, i now need to create a
trust relationship between the two companys, ours is DC=domain1,DC=com the
other companys domain is DC=domain2 my question is will the trust
relationship work with a domain without the .extension. if not how can i set
up the trust. They are both WIN2K3 Domains

To start would have to establish dns connectivity both ways, usually the
easiest thing to do would be to create secondary's of each others primary.

Once established you can then go and create your Forest trust, this
establishes a two way trust.

You should be able to create a trust relationship as long as the name
resolution between the domains works as expected. Ensure that this is the
case - and review additional consideration that you need to keep in mind
when working with single-label AD domains (refer to
