Hi Andreas,

Actually the patch(https://attachments.samba.org/attachment.cgi?id=12986) made for issue Bug 12598 <https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12598> resolved the trust issue for us. What I understood my earlier debugging is that the client side piece was always using kerberos without fallback approach to NTLMSSP to connect to remote trusted domain DCs . I think this gets addressed by this patch specifically.We have unit tested all the trust scenarios. Things are looking good. But, we would like to know if there will any dependency issues that you would like to share with just taking this patch. 

We are definitely planning to upgrade to 4.6.2. Its just that we are waiting for a release which can fit good test cycle.

Thank you for the help.

Regards,
Hemanth.
