We have 2 domains (don't ask why). We setup a namespace on DomainA.com and
added a target folder on DomainB.com. From the DomainB.com domain
controller, we can access the namespace folder on DomainB.com using
DomainA.com\dfs\NamespaceFolder. It doesn't work on other DomainB.com
computers. Is there a way to make this work?

Hello Abislair,

You should be able to this. How is your domain setup do you have two
seperate forests of one fores 2 domains? If your trust s properly setup,
then your dns should be the problem here. Look at your dns configuration.
Can you ping domainA.com computers/servers from DomainB.com clients?

We have two completly separate forest/domains. I can ping the domainA server
w/ IP or FQDN from domainB clients. On domainB clients, I can go to My
Computer and type in the address of the domainA server and shared folders
automatically populate. If I try to access a share, I get a domainA login
dialog. I cannot login using domainA or domainB Administrator or other user.

forest trust. and on the ACL for domainB.com\sharefolder give appropriate
permissions to users from both domains
