I've a question regarding the possible relations between domains under Windows NT. If I'm working on my own "X" domain and a user from the "Y" domain want to use one of my printer which is in my "X" domain.

My question is : Is there any possibilities for this user to access my ressources (printers) without establishing approvals between the 2 domains ?

To the best of my knowledge, you will probably have to set up a trust between your domains for this. It is also possible that you could provide an external IP address to your printer and then have them print to that IP using Internet Printing Protocol (which is implemented in Win2k). Other than that, I don't know. I can certainly attempt to help you further if you still have questions.

All you have to do is have the users attach to your machine with a usercode from your X domain. When they attach to your resource, have them connect as X\UsercodeFromX and your domain will validate the credentials and they will have access. NO need for a trust here unless you want to.
