This question was answered on January 28, 2001. Much of the information contained herein may have changed since posting.

In Windows NT 4.0 and earlier, trust relationships are one-way and each must be established and managed individually, and the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server text says this is a "complex task" (as you are finding out!) Windows 2000 trust relationships are two-way transitive and automatically established. Windows 2000 Server says you can define explicit one-way trust relationships as necessary through the domain properties in the Site Manager snap-in.
