Unable to read forest trust information from the other domain. There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.

Question : Unable to read forest trust information from the other domain.  There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.

I’ve created a forest trust and have one domain in each (Domain A and Domain B).  I cannot add users from Domain B to a domain local security group in Domain A.  I can add users from Domain A to a domain local security group in Domain B.  I’m not entirely sure what could be causing this issue.

I did notice that when I go to the trust properties in Domain A and select the trust properties I get an error stating: Unable to read forest trust information from the other domain.  The error is: There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.  New naming information is not available.

I’m guessing there is something wrong with the trust on the Domain A side.  I’d appreciate any information regarding this.


 

Solution: Unable to read forest trust information from the other domain.  There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request.

if you have a two way trust, both sides need to be able to resolve each others dns names, so you really need to create a forwarder on both sides.

From each DC you should be able to successfully ping the other forests DC’s by FQDN
