I am looking for a brief synposis of the Windows 2000 cross-forest login process.
User in Forest A, accesses Resource in Forest B (one-way trust where Forest B trusts Forest A). How does the user get authenticated?
Specifically, when a resource is trying to authenticate a user from a trusted remote forest, does the authentication request only touch a local DC (presumably a GC) or does the authenticating server query a remote forest Domain Controller?
Thanks for any and all responses that shed light on this for me :-)
