Using gMSA with ATP results in many 2947 events
I'm in a similar situation and really confused regarding gMSA implementation in a multi-forest environment, particularly in the case of one way trusts. To me it appears a single GMSA can only be used in a case of multiple domains/forests using two way trusts, and one can only use multiple GMSA's in the case of multiple domains/forests with NO trusts.
My current setup, each is a different forest:
Domain gMSA TRUST (all one way forest trusts)
DomainA.com MDI-SVC-A apps.domainb.com-->DomainA.com
DomainB.com MDI-SVC-B apps.domainb.com --> Domainb.com
domainb.com --> DomainA.com
apps.DomainB.com MDIAPPS-SVC domainA.com-->apps.domainb.com<--Domainb.com
-There's a local security group in apps.domainb.com that contains the domain controller groups for all three domains/forests, and this is assigned to the MDIAPPS-SVC Gmsa, and every gmsa has been granted log on as a service in their respected domain
-All sensors start on all DC's in all domains without error and portal shows no health issues
-apps.domainb.com is filled with 2947 errors stating it can't access the password of the MDI-SVC-A and MDI-SVC-B Gmsas
-domainA.com and domainB.com don't have 2947 errors, but the security log is filled with 4625 errors with logon type 5 (service) for failed logons of of the MDIAPPS-SVC account with error code 0xC000018B.
Honestly, I don't see how this can work as long as the trusting gmsa requires log on as a service in the trusted domain, as there's simply no way to add it.

We are working on several improvements around credentials usage by the sensor in multi-forest environments and in general. But it'll take a few weeks to be released.
You can follow the what's new page for updates, but I'll make sure to update this thread as well.

looking forward to it as I opened a ticket with Azure and received a totally nonsensical answer along with advice to contact the on-premise active directory team on how to configure gMSA’s for a one way forest trust..
