Creating Two Way Realm Trust For Both Side of Trust

Introduction

In my previous articles I explained How to Create One Way Incoming Realm Trust and One Way Outgoing Realm Trust.

In this article I will create a two-way Realm Trust for both sides of a trust.

The trust created in this article will work for both incoming and for outgoing.

Step 1

First of all open the Administrative Tools from the Start menu.

In the Administrative Tools Wizard a list of Installed Items will be available, here an option will be available named "Active Directory Domains and Trusts", double-click on it to open it.

Step 5

On the next page you will be asked to select one of the options for "Trust Transitivity", click on the First Option, in other words "Non Transitivity"; this will cerate a Trusted Relation between the Domain and the specified Realm.

The next page is for the Direction of the Trust, click on the first option, in other words "Two Way", this will authenticate the users in the Specified Domain, Forest or Realm and also authenticates the users that are in this domain.
