Happy New Year !
I'm having a design discussion with myself about adding a forest vs
adding a domain to an existing forest.  I understand about the automatic
transitive trust between domains in a forest, and how it's possible for
a clever domain admin in a subdomain to compromise the entire forest.
What I'm shaky on is this:  If you had two single-domain forests, and
established trusts in both directions between them, do you have the same
issues ?  I would think not, because the configuration and schema NCs
are not shared between them, but I'm looking for some confirmation on
that.  Also, since we're talking about two single-domain forests, I'm
guessing that the 'forest trusts' available in W2K3 FFL don't really
come into play here, correct ?  In other words, getting the first domain
to W2K3 FFL doesn't buy anything with respect to this trust ?

Thanks,
Dave
