Trust Between a Forest Domain and a Child From Another Domain

Hi everyone,

We have a scenario as follows:
We have Forest A with Domain A and Child Domain B
We have another Forest 1 with Domain 1

We are considering adding a two way trust between Domain 1 and Child Domain B. My question is, would that trust allow for Domain 1 and Domain A to also trust each other?

Hi,

You can specify which domain to trust when creating forest level trust, here is some info and how to do to create cross forest trust, http://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/tip/How-to-create-a-cross-forest-trust-in-Active-Directory

Thanks but this is more of a question about how the transitivity of the trust we are considering will work. We know how to make the trust but need to be sure on if the parent domain will be able to use that trust as well.

When you do Forest level integration, the parent domain automatically trust other parent domain in different forest.

That is what we already experienced when having forest level integration between our main campus Forest with already established Forest on our dental campus (they starts with different forest/domain name). Both side users can easily authenticate on their respective domain in order to use each campuses wireless facilities.
