RE: restricted groups?



the way mutiple domain and multiple tree's in a forest work is there is a
transitive trust relationship between all domain in the forest, this enables
users from domainB to access resources in domainA and vice versa, but because
each domain in a forest is a separate security boundary, then domain admins
from domainA (if they are not in the local admin group on a client machine in
domainB) cant manage machines in a separate domain, because of the security
boundary, but if you add the domai nadmins group from domainA to the local
built in administrator group in domainB then this will solve the issue

This would work I was under the

but doing it this way creates more steps
