Adding another Domain in MCM

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to add a second domain in Microsoft Configuration Manager 2309 to manage PCs only under a specific OU in that Domain?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Yes, we can use Active Directory group discovery to discovery and manage PCs only under a specific OU in a second Domain. For more information, please refer to:

Active Directory group discovery

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon

Answer 2

Yes, I added it already but it is not discovering the group. Do we have to create a trust between the forests to make it work?

Answer 3

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

Please help check the adsgdis.log in the <InstallationPath>\LOGS folder on the site server to see if there is any useful information.

To manage the PCs in another forest, we can refer to below guides:

Cross Forest Support in ConfigMgr 2012 Part 1: Simple Management

Cross Forest Support in ConfigMgr 2012 Part 2: Forest Discovery, Publishing, and Client Push Installation.

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
