Answer 1

Hi,

When you create a trust on a domain controller , you will create new TDO object in domain partition. This object is replicated on all domain controller in same domain.

TDO Object

Answer 2

Hi,

To create a forest trust, here are some Requirements

Both Forests need to be in Forest Functional Level 2003 or higher
Name resolution must be in place. Here are there are 3 ways to do this:

Conditional Forwarder
Stub Zone
Secondary Zone

The user used to create the trust must be a member of the Enterprise Admins Group or the Domain Admins Group in the forest root or delegated the rights to create trusts.

So it means that you can create the trust in any RWDCs with the user of the Enterprise Admins Group or the Domain Admins Group in the forest root or delegated the rights to create trusts.

Best Regards,
