Hate to disagree with you, but domain admins DO NOT have total access across the forest, only the Enterprise Admins do, the members of the Enterprise Admins are responsible for creating and managing the forest which includes any child domain that is created from the ROOT Domain, then assign Domain Admins to existing Child domains using the Domain Admins group in each respective Child Domain, in fact when nested domains are created the type of trust is known as a transitive trust relationship, rights are recognized between domains but MUST BE GRANTED First, so the only way the admin of Domain B would have rights to the ROOT domain is if the Enterprise Admin granted it, this goes for all users in each domain in the forest.

Not any *secure* reason. You cannot prevent a domain admin in one domain from being a domain admin in another domain in the same forest. I know of people who do this for some freaky organization reason, but it is a grave mistake security-wise. t ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: gmaks@xxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
