cant log into child domain

Hello all

I have a parent and child domain in the AD forest, the AD forest is at
Windows 2003 native. I am a member of the enterprise admins domain admins
and schema admins group. Using my account I cannot log onto one of the DC's
in the child domain when logging onto the child domain. I thought that if my
account was a member of the enterrpise admins group I could use my account
and log on to a DC in the child domain under the child domain?

Thanks

What's the error message you are getting when attempting to logon?

Is a "you don't have rights to log into this machine, you must be a member
of the local admin or RDP group"

Verify that Enterpise Admins group is a member of local Administrators group
in the child domain...

Are there any Event log errors on any of the DCs?

How is DNS setup in the infrastructure? Is the child domain delegated the
child zone? If so, I assume the parent zone and child zone's replication
scope are Domain wide, and there is a fowarder from the child domain's DNS
to the parent domain's DNS, as well as that all child domain members are
only using the child domain's DNS servers.

If not, can you elaborate on the setup? This could also contribute to your
Exchange issue you had posted earlier.

Hello Ace, thank very much for your assistance.

DNS in the forest is all AD integrated. The parent domain is
corp.mydomain.com and the zone for this domain is AD integrated. The child
domain is child.corp.mydomain.com and it's the zone for this domain is AD
integrated as well. All Domain controllers are DNS servers, and they all use
forwarders and they all point to the same ISP ip address.

I do not understand what you mean by "is the domain delegated the child
zone"? how can I confirm this?
The parent and child zone replication are forest wide ( I think) when I
right click on the zone both the parent and child zone go to properties and
the general tab, the replication says "All DNS servers in the forest"

Again the forwarder for the child zone is set to look at the ISP, should the
forwarder be the ip address of DNS server located in the parent zone?

Yes all child domain members are using the child domain for DNS

Thanks again for your assitance!

So just to confirm what I am experiencing is not normal behavior

My account is a member of the enterprise admins group. I can log onto one of
the child DC's with my corp account (corp is the parent domain) but I cant
log onto one of the child DC's using my corp account but under the child
domain. Example childdomain\myaccount fails.

When I try and log on to a DC on the child domain using
childdomain\myaccount I get a security event

You are welcome, so far.

I think it is a resolution issue based on the DNS infrastructure. Regarding
DNS Parent to child delegation, I had responded to another one of your
threads explaining this. Apparently the two threads are related.

If you decide to delegate, the _msdcs zone stays in the Forest replication
scope. The other two will be put into their own respective domain scope (not
the Windows 2000 compatible one).

Forwarding with delegation is changed. It will go from child to parent, then
parent to ISP.

However, you can keep it the way it is, for simplicity, which may complicate
this diagnosis.

I believe you had already set the search suffixes? (trying to remember info
from this thread and the other one) If so, good.

I would also look at WINS.

Are there any event errors regarinding replication?

Ace

No, the child and parent domain are in the same AD site
