256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, you may find that you cannot establish a trust relationship between two domains if one of the domains is named &quot;Internet&quot; (without the quotation marks).



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Local Security Authority (LSA) in Windows 2000 Server cannot create a trust account that is named &quot;Internet&quot;. &quot;Internet&quot; is a restricted name that has a security identifier (SID) of S-1-7. Although you can name a Windows 2000-based computer or a Windows 2000 domain &quot;Internet&quot;, you cannot establish a trust to a domain that is named &quot;Internet&quot;.
