Trusted Domains (2 way Trust)

  • A single AWG installation manages infrastructure across all trusted domains.
  • AWG securely communicates across domains, eliminating the need for separate installations.
  • Centralizes control and simplifies configuration and management for all domains within the network.
  • The steps to enable the two way trust between the domains are Windows Agent FAQ and Troubleshooting Guide (point 7)

Enabling Two-way trust between Two Different Domains

Note:
  • Ensure that DNS settings on both servers are correctly configured and there is no firewall or network issue preventing communication between the two servers.
  • You may need administrative privileges on both domain servers to complete the trust configuration.
  1. Create a conditional forwarder on Domain Server 1
    1. Open the DNS Manager on the PDC of Domain Server 1
    2. Right-click on Conditional Forwarders and select New Conditional Forwarder.
    3. In the window that appears, enter the domain name of the other domain 2 and the IP address of the corresponding domain server.
    4. To save changes, click OK.
  2. Create a conditional forwarder on Domain Server 2

    2. Right-click on Conditional Forwarders and select New Conditional Forwarder
    3. In the window that appears, enter the domain name of the other domain and the IP address of the corresponding domain server
    4. To save changes, click OK.
