In this video i will show you how to manage Trust Relationships in Active Directory.

 
In this exercise, you will see how to manage trusts and assign trust relationships between domains.
  1. Open the Active Directory Domains And Trusts administrative tool by clicking Start > Administrative Tools > Active Directory Domains And Trusts.
  2. Right-click the name of the domain and select Properties.
  3. Select the Trusts tab. You will see a list of the trusts that are currently configured. To modify the trust properties for an existing trust, highlight the trust and click Properties.
  4. This screen displays information about the trust’s direction, transitivity, and type, along with the names of the domains involved in the relationship. Click Cancel to exit without making any changes.
  5. To create a new trust relationship, click the New Trust button on the Trusts tab. The New Trust Wizard appears. Click Next to proceed with the wizard.
  6. On the Trust Name page, you are prompted for the name of the domain with which the trust should be created. For purposes of this lab, you can enter any domain name and click Next.
  7. On the Trust Type page, you would normally choose the Trust With A Windows Domain option if you know that the other domain uses a Windows domain controller. In order to continue with this lab (without requiring access to another domain), it is important to choose the Realm Trust option. This selection allows you to walk through the process of creating a trust relationship without needing an untrusted domain in the Active Directory environment. Select the Realm Trust option. Click Next when you are done.
  8. On the Transitivity Of Trust page, choose the Nontransitive option and click Next to continue.
  9. On the Direction Of Trust page, choose One-Way: Incoming and click Next.
  10. On the Trust Password page, specify a password that should be used to administer the trust. Click Next to continue.
  11. Note that if there is an existing trust relationship between the domains, the passwords must match.
  12. Now you see a summary page that recaps the selections you have made. Since this is a simulation, you don’t actually want to establish this trust. Click Cancel on the Trust Selections Complete page to cancel the wizard without saving the changes.
  13. Exit the Trust properties for the domain by clicking Cancel.
