understanding of Active Directory forest trust

Sajid Ali Shah 271

I need clarity on Active Directory forest trust. Lets say we have 2 different forests e.g abc.com and def.com. we create 2 way trust between them. assume abc.com office is in Dubai and def.com office is in AbuDhabi.

my question here is that if a user of AbuDhabi office (def.com users) visits Dubai Office(abc.com) and his laptop is joined to def.com so will he be able to login to his laptop from Dubai office network?

Thank you for your kind reply and for sharing the useful link.

one more question let's say we have 1way trust. e.g abc.com trusts on def.com. so if def.com user visits the abc.com office then will he be able to change his def.com password while sitting in the office of abc.com.
if yes then how?
the purpose of the question is that we have a scenario. lets say our domain is abc.com and a few of our users are sitting in def.com office and abc.com trusts def.com. management wants to know if the users are sitting in def.com office, will they be able to change their abc.com password?

iI have a couple of questions, let's say we have 1way trust. e.g abc.com trusts on def.com. so if def.com user visits the abc.com office then will he be able to change his def.com password while sitting in the office of abc.com.
if yes then how?
2nd question is if abc.com users are sitting in def.com, will abc.com users will be able to change their abc.com password in def.com network/office?

the purpose of the above questions is that we have the same scenarios.

A one-way trust is a unidirectional authentication path created between two domains. In a one-way trust between Domain A and Domain B, users in Domain A can access resources in Domain B. However, users in Domain B can't access resources in Domain A.

Some one-way trusts can be either non-transitive or transitive depending on the type of trust being created.

In a two-way trust, Domain A trusts Domain B and Domain B trusts Domain A. This configuration means that authentication requests can be passed between the two domains in both directions. Some two-way relationships can be non-transitive or transitive depending on the type of trust being created.
