I'm sorry for the late reply, but we've all been busy finishing work on
a RHEL update.

This should just work for all domains, SSSD should autodiscover
all the trusted domains from the forest.

Instead of the dns_discovery_domain, you should use "ad_site = cy2"

If something does not work, please send logs, see
https://docs.pagure.org/SSSD.sssd/users/troubleshooting.html

But I would strongly recommend against enumerate=true both for performance
reasons and because following the logs is then quite hard.

This should not be needed and is not completely correct either.

Defining each domain separately is a valid workaround for domains in
different forests. It was also a valid workaround for older releases
if only some domains were reachable, so you'd disable the automatic
subdomain discovery with subdomain_provider=none and then create
a separate domain entry for each trusted domain.

But with modern releases this should not be necessary, even
if only the forest root and sub1.example.com are reachable,
you could instead use
"ad_enabled_domains = sub1.example.com,example.com"

But if the all domains are reachable, defining each domains
should not be required and all users and groups from those
domains should be resolvable.
