You can exclude existing name suffixes from routing to local forests by using the New Trust Wizard in Active Directory Domains and Trusts or by using the Netdom command-line tool. For more information about how to use the Netdom command-line tool to modify name suffix routing settings, see "Netdom.exe: Windows Domain Manager" in the Windows Server 2003 Technical Reference on the Microsoft Web site (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=41700).

Note

When you exclude a name suffix, all children of that Domain Name System (DNS) name will also be excluded.

Administrative credentials

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Domain Admins group or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory.

To exclude name suffixes from routing to local forests

Using the Windows interface

  1. Open Active Directory Domains and Trusts.

  2. In the console tree, right-click the domain that you want to administer, and then click Properties.

  3. On the Trusts tab, under either Domains trusted by this domain (outgoing trusts) or Domains that trust this domain (incoming trusts), click the forest trust that you want to administer, and then click Properties.

  4. On the Name Suffix Routing tab, under Name suffixes in the x.x forest, click the unique name suffix to exclude from routing, and then click Edit.

  5. In Name suffixes to exclude from routing to x.x, click Add, type a DNS name suffix that is subordinate to the unique name suffix, and then click OK.
