How it works...

When a trust is verified, the following characteristics of the trust are verified:

• Networking connectivity between both sides of the trust
• Existence of the trust on the far side of the trust
• Synchronization of the shared secret on both sides of the trust

Therefore, verifying a trust is a good point to start troubleshooting, because it might quickly be able to identify changes made by network admins or the Active Directory admin on the other side of the trust.

When a trust relationship cannot be verified, the option to reset it is displayed, as indicated previously.
