The SmartCards can log into on AD Forest, but not another. The two forest
don't trust each other.

Looked that the article on 3rd party CA's, but still no go. The 3rd party
CA's root certificates are in the NTAuthCA store, and the CRLs have been
imported into Certificate manager and placed in the CRL store.

So you're trying to use smart cards issued in one forest to log on in a
second forest?

This is the first that you mentioned a 2nd forest. Thanks for the info <G>
the NTAuth store does not contain root certs, it must contain the CA that
issued the smart card certificate
Look at the CA stores in the working forest using PKIView.msc (from the
resource kit).
They must be the same in the other forest.

Number 2, does CRL checking work in the other forest (are the URLs
accessible)/

Number 3. Do the accounts have the same UPN in both forests. The UPN in the
cert must match the account's UPN in the 2nd forest to work
