Create a one-way, incoming, shortcut trust for one side of the trust
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
This procedure creates one side of a one-way, incoming, shortcut trust. Although one side of a trust will be created successfully, the new trust will not function until the administrator for the reciprocal domain uses his or her credentials to create the second side of the trust. If you have administrative credentials for both domains that are involved in the trust, you can use the procedure Create a one-way, incoming, shortcut trust for both sides of the trust to create both sides in one simultaneous operation.
A one-way, incoming, shortcut trust allows users in your domain (the domain that you are logged on to at the time that you run the New Trust Wizard) to more quickly access resources in another domain (which is nested within another domain tree) in your forest. For example, if you are the administrator of sales.wingtiptoys.com and users in that domain need to access resources in the marketing.tailspintoys.com domain (which is a child domain of the tailspintoys.com tree root domain), you can use this procedure to establish one side of the relationship so that users in your domain can more quickly access resources in the marketing.tailspintoys.com domain.
You can create this shortcut trust by using the New Trust Wizard in Active Directory Domains and Trusts or by using the Netdom command-line tool. For more information about how to use the Netdom command-line tool to create a shortcut trust, see "Netdom.exe: Windows Domain Manager" in the Windows Server 2003 Technical Reference on the Microsoft Web site (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=41700).
