CCNA Outline of Physical Requirements and Physical Topology

By Sam F. Guyette


Just like at the forest level, directors have the ability to create trusts between domains, even though with lots more ?exibility and power than at the forest level.

In Windows Server 2008, 3 different trust types are available between domains so as to help in the sharing of resources: kingdom trusts, external trusts, and shortcut trusts. Each of these types of trusts has numerous optional authorizations and allowances. You'll need to be familiar with them before beginning planning your substructure design.

External trusts You can create an external trust to form an one-way or two-way, nontransitive

trust with domains outside of your forest. External trusts are often obligatory when users require access to resources found in a Windows NT 4.0 domain that doesn?t support Active Index. Figure 1.9 illustrates this.

Shortcut trusts Often when you have a complex Active List forest, the MCTS Windows 7 Configuration between 2 servers isn't as idyllic as you may desire. If, as an example, a particu - lar domain is nested four tiers down in your tree and it wants to access resources in another domain that's 4 tiers down in another tree, it'll have to go up four levels and then down 4 levels of authentication so as to access the resources it needs.

By employing Kerberos, you can make a tran- sitive trust between the 2 domains that allows one domain to directly access another, without needing to span up and down their varied trees. This is a shortcut trust. It's quite a useful trick, and it can save plenty of time. Keep in mind that when you make a short- cut trust, Windows Server 2008 will default to the shortest trail it can to reach the desired server. This means there may come an occasion where a shortcut trust exists between a server and another server some other place in the network sub-structure. Undesired performance compromises can result if the server authenticates through its shortcut and then thru another machine?s trust. Because of this, it is best to use shortcut trusts moderately.
