  This is a training and certification forum.  As your question relates to none of these, I will move it to a more appropriate forum.

  Hi,

  The forest functional level doesn't come into play when you're looking at trusts. You can happily have a Windows 2000 functional level forest in a trust relationship with a Server 2008 functional level forest.

  There is no default trust between forests. You have to create those manually.

  Cheers,
  Lain

  Hi,

  It depends on what the question is actually about, to be honest. This forum is dedicated to general question - questions that don't fit neatly into the more specific forums which you can find a list of here.

  Don't be afraid of asking in here. If the question is better suited to another forum, we can certainly point you in the right direction.

  Cheers,
  Lain
