A trust relationship exists between two Microsoft Windows Server 2003 forests in your organization. When you try to use the
dsmod command to add a user from one forest to a group in the other forest, you receive an error message that is similar to the following:
dsmod failed: The specified user does not exist
type dsmod /? for help.
For example, suppose that a trust relationship exists between two forests that are named forestA.local and forestB.local. You use the following command line to add User1 from forestA.local to the Administrators group in forestB.local:
dsmod group "cn=administrators,cn=Builtin,dc=forestB,dc=local" -addmbr "cn=user1,cn=users,dc=forestA,dc=local"
In this scenario, you receive the following error message:
dsmod failed:cn=administrators,cn=Builtin,dc=forestB,dc=local:The specified user does not exist.
type dsmod /? for help.
