Supported Configuration for Using MOM with Non-Trusted Domains or Workgroups

Your IT environment might be composed of both trusted domains and non-trusted domain, or workgroups. Depending on your topology, this separation might present an issue. Table 7 shows when a connection across a trusted/non-trusted barrier is supported for MOM computers.

Note

Support for Installing Agents Across a Trust Boundary - Agents can be push installed to a non-trusted domain in most environments except to a Domain Controller. Also, because of the large number of configuration combinations available in Active Directory, not all have been tested thoroughly and push-installing agents to target computers in your specific environment might not be possible. If this happens the agents must be installed manually.
