    • To form a trust relationship with the domain and the specified realm, click Nontransitive, and then click Next.

    • To form a trust relationship with the domain and the specified realm and all trusted realms, click Transitive, and then click Next.

  7. On the Direction of Trust page, do one of the following:

    • To create a two-way, realm trust, click Two-way.

      Users in this domain and users in the specified realm will be able to access resources in either domain or realm.

    • To create a one-way, incoming realm trust, click One-way:incoming.

      Users in the specified realm will not be able to access any resources in this domain.

    • To create a one-way, outgoing realm trust, click One-way:outgoing.

Additional considerations

  • To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group or Enterprise Admins group in AD DS, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to perform this procedure. For more information, search for "using run as" in Help and Support. You can verify shortcut trusts, external trusts, and forest trusts but not realm trusts.

  • You can use other parameters to assign a password or determine the direction of the trust. For example, to make the previous trust a two-way, transitive trust, use the following syntax:

    netdom trust <TrustingDomainName> /d:<TrustedDomainName> /add /realm /twoway
