Answered One-way Trust Question

    Hi All,

    I hope someone can help me with my question. We have a single forest, with a collection of domains like so:

    -<domain.local>
    -----<a.domain.local>
    -----<b.domain.local>
    -----<c.domain.local>

    What I would like is to have a one-way trust relationship where the child domains trust the parent domain only. Users in the parent domain can see all users and resources of the child domains, but the child domains can only see the actual child domain, and nothing else.

    Many thanks for any help, this has been breaking my head for a while.

    Hi,

    Transitive two-way trust is needed for replication purpose (schema, configuration).

    Check Parent-child trust in  How Domain and Forest Trusts Work : http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/cc773178%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

    Moreover, Domain isn't the security boundary, you should consider creating a new forest for security purpose.

    Regards,

    Please note that every child domain has a two ways trust relationship with its parent which is transitive. This is created by default and cannot be changed. Due to transitivity, child domains trusts each other.

    If you want to apply customizations when creating trust relationships, you will need to have domains in separate forests. In this case, they will no longer be considered as child domains but they will be domains in separate forests.

    If you need more information, please provide us with what you want to achieve so that we can help you more.

    but the child domains can only see the actual child domain”

    Where and how are they seeing these users?
