MDI GMSA Forest/Multi Domain
- Feb 16, 2022
The official statement states that the gMSAs' boundary is the domain and not the forest (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/security/group-managed-service-accounts/getting-started-with-group-managed-service-accounts#BKMK_Intro)
Having said that, we've accomplished to get it to work with a domain trust but not in a root-child scenario.
CHRIS_chipotle This document I referred to was written after testing, we verified it can work.
We also have some customers who use it.
Martin_Schvartzman Any idea why it won't work for him?

Thanks for that answer Martin.
I talked to a MS MDI Engineer yesterday and we talked about how the sensor will check all the credentials in the portal until it finds a valid set.
What I am seeing in the logs is expected behavior for the failed passwords in the various domains I have setup for MDI (there are 6 currently).
I was hoping the Forest GSMA would help with that, but it seems likes its more work than I need currently.
