windowswindows-server-2003
There used to be a command line tool called QFECheck in Windows Server 2000 that would list them out. Is this the preferred method on windows server 2003/2008?
I know they're listed in Add/Remove programs, but it's hard to capture them for an audit this way.
Can i do this without having to install an add-on executable?
You are probably trying to use a group that does not have the proper scope to see the members from the trusted domain.
If this is a cross forest trust the only type of group you will be able to use to assign users from domain b permissions in domain 'a' is a Domain local.
If this is not a cross forest trust then you can use Domain Local or Universal.
Microsoft has a good Technet Article about group scope.
