/userd:myforesttest\Administrator /Passwordd:Myforest123 /usero:myrootdns2003\Administrator /passwordo:Mydns123 /verify




3. To verify trust relationship between Active Directory based windows domain and non-windows realm kerberos domain (Assume the kerberos realm password is "Mytrust123"), run

netdom trust myrootdns2003.com /domain:myforesttest.com
/userd:myforesttest\Administrator /Passwordd:Myforest123 /usero:myrootdns2003\Administrator /passwordo:Mydns123 /verify /Passwordt:Mytrust123
