There seems to be some confusion here as to what type of domain you're talking about. There's a difference between a TCP/IP domain and a Windows networking domain controller. The document you referenced doesn't really do a very good job differentiating either.
The domain controllers are ldap domains used for authenticating the user profile. If that's the issue, just having the old domain as a trusted domain in the new domain should allow your IBMi users to be authenticated to anything secured by the new domain. So if a IBMi user enrolled in the old domain is authorized to use a file share in the new domain you should be able to MKDIR to the share in the new domain as long as the new domain trusts the old domain.
Now, the path from QNTC to that share is dependent on how you've set up your TCP/IP domains.
So ... are you asking how to set up the path to the share, or how to get authority to the share?

Scott - I've tried IP addresses within the domain and they work, but outside the domain they don't.
Rob:
Our domain name is local.customcall.com.
I'm told our domain controller is dc1.customcall.com, and the other dc is MSN-DC-001.edge.local.com.
Currently our Domain Search list is *DFT - which according to the help means it uses the domain name.
So I'm not sure if I should change the domain search to use the customcall.com's local or dc1 address.
I don't want to break anything...

Sent by: midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Am I right in thinking that when using QNTC (which I believe uses
NetServer) it can only connect to one domain controller?
After our company was bought out, we've had a partial transition to the owner's domain controller. The rest of the transition will occur eventually, but we're not there yet. Our Power system is on the old
domain, but I am looking to access a new server on the new domain. I
asked that the new server be temporarily added to the old domain until our Power system was moved to the new domain, but corporate isn't excited about that (and I honestly don't blame them).
So - if getting QNTC to recognize multiple domain controllers is a possibility, I'd like to get that set up, otherwise I'll just have to push on getting our Power system on the new domain.
Sidenote: I am not networking minded, so please keep it simple. ;)

I was using this as a reference. In #8.c it says all servers must be on the same domain, but I'm thinking that's just for the DNS config option?
