Windows login, multiple domains, replicated archive server

I manage a PDM system for two sister companies, with archives replicated from one server to the other. The two servers are on different domains. We are currently set up with PDM logins, but to make user management easier I want to switch to Windows logins. We've got the domain trust set up, but I'm having trouble with the archive servers' settings. I can get it half way working, where users from the primary domain can log in from either domain, but users from the remote domain can only log in from the primary domain.

Can anyone offer any guidance on the proper way to set this up?

Tim, thanks for digging up all that info for me. I've marked your answer correct since it led me to the info I needed. Here's a summary of what I actually did to get it working.

On the primary domain's archive server

In the archive server security settings I added the secondary domain's domain admins group to the administrative access list and added the secondary domain's domain users group to the attach access list.
I created a local server group that contains both the primary domain's PDM user group and the secondary domain's PDM user group.
I added this local server group to the vault's login settings users and groups list.

Glad to help Scott!

This one is usually difficult to debug remotely from the forums without being inside your server so providing resources is about the best we can do.
