Resolution

fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 7.0

fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 7.0 SP1

fact
Microsoft Windows 2003 Active Directory

symptom
Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) is unable to see trusted domains from a Microsoft Windows 2003 Active Directory trusted forest.

symptom
Directory and Resource Administrator does not see new Microsoft Windows 2003 Active Directory forest-to-forest trusts.

fix

This is corrected in DRA 7.5 and later. To resolve this issue upgrade to the latest version of DRA.

With Microsoft Windows 2003 Active Directory forests you can now set up forest-to-forests trusts.  This allows all domains in one forest to trust all domains in a second forest.  Directory and Resource Administrator (DRA) does not see the forest-to-forest trusts but can see the domain-to-domain trusts.  A workaround is to create a domain trust between the domains needed.
