Hi there,

I am working on the trusting relationship between 2 domains with Samba 3 PDC
and W2K PDC. When I typed in the trust password on both machines, on my
Samba 3, I was prompted for the success output but I've got the following
error on verify the trust on my W2K PDC:

""Information from the primary domain controller for the domain cannot be
obtained because: The RPC server is unavailable.
Make sure that the PDC is operating properly and then try again""

And from my Samba, I've got the following error log:

Oct 13 12:51:51 sambav3 smbd[2015]: [2003/10/13 12:51:51, 0]
auth/auth_domain.c:connect_to_domain_password_server(115)
Oct 13 12:51:51 sambav3 smbd[2015]:   connect_to_domain_password_server:
unable to setup the NETLOGON credentials to machine myW2kPDC. Error was :
NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL.
Oct 13 12:51:51 sambav3 smbd[2015]: [2003/10/13 12:51:51, 0]
auth/auth_domain.c:domain_client_validate(167)
Oct 13 12:51:51 sambav3 smbd[2015]:   domain_client_validate: Domain
password server not available. 

What's about?

Any solution or the link of the solution is greatly appreciated
THX
