How to combine two active directories
I have two domains. I want to see two domain's active directory information at one domain controller(in ldp.exe console).
For example if i connect to a dc from a work station through ldap studio,I am getting one domain's active directory information only.
I want to access the second domain's active directory information also when I connect to the first dc from the work station.
What are the steps to do it?The two domain controllers are operating at windows 2008 r2 functional level.

Hello,
you can not combine two domains, you can create a trust between them and then you are able to access the other domain. Start with:

Hi,
I agree with Meinolf. Trust relationships allow users in the trusted domain to access resources in the trusting domain. For more information, please also check the
