Setup Trusts between WinSrv2003 r2 and WinSrv2008 r2

To setup a trust follow instructions below:

Setup DNS Entry - in Forward Lookup Zones

1. Open DNS Manager and under "Forward Lookup Zones" - Create new Zone
2. Open main Zone and goto properties - Zone transfers
3. Add new Zone IP to Zone transfers

Do the same on the other server

Setup Trust

1. Open AD Domains & Trusts
2. Right click on your domain name - properties - Trusts
3.  Click "New Trust" - follow onscreen instructions and choose Forest Trust

Troubleshooting tips

If you don't get the "forest trust" option when setting up a trust - make sure that your newly setup zone have transferred successfully. Check both servers to make sure you've setup the IP Addresses to the Zone Transfers list.
