Monitoering AD DS in remote untrusted forests

Question

Sign in to vote

Just want to confirm whether it is possible to discover and monitor DCs (and thus ADDS) in a remote forest/domain that has no two way trust to the forest/domain where RMS/MS resides but has a gateway server in place. DCs in the remote forest/domain have got agents installed and have been managed by the base-OS MP. I wish the OM MP for ADDS can discover them as DCs and monitor the ADDS there. The guide doc in the MP seems stating only local DCs can be discovered and monitored.

We monitor DCs in untrusted domains via gateways here. It works fine. What version of SCOM & MPs are you using?

Hi,

The ADMP supports the monitoring of forests in addition to the forest where Operations Manager and the management pack are installed. You can deploy agents to remote forests. The management pack will gather health and performance data for the remote forest according to the view of the domain controller where the agent is installed.

For more information, please review the link below:

Thanks very much to all the responses.

However, in the link provided it says:

cross-forest monitoring of a forest that is not fully trusted is not supported.
