I support a large Windows Server 2003 Active Directory (AD) forest that contains several forest trusts that in turn contain other large forests. Can I use a script to control (enable and disable) routing name suffixes across my large forest?
Before answering this question, I think it's useful to explain this somewhat obscure Active Directory Forest trust setting and point you to references for more information. When a user in an account domain (trusted domain) attempts to authenticate across a forest trust, AD routes the request to a resource domain (trusting domain) that's capable of authenticating the user's request. You can disable or enable this routing graphically from Active Directory Domains and Trusts, from the command line by using the NetDOM utility (a Windows Support Tool), or programmatically by using the new System.DirectoryServices. ActiveDirectory namespace in the .NET Framework 2.0. To see how this functionality works, consider the two types of canonical names for user account authentication: a Domain DNS name (e.g., corp.adatum.com) and a NetBIOS name (e.g., CORP). . . .
