Must-Have Experience in at Least One of the Following Scenarios:

  • Establishing a bidirectional forest trust between two AD forests.
  • Synchronizing both forests to a single Entra tenant using Microsoft Entra Connect Sync.
  • Enabling cross-forest authentication for Entra-integrated and AD-integrated apps.
  • Requires TCP/IP network connectivity between domains and domain controllers.
  • Ideal for legacy AD-integrated apps that require cross-forest access.

Synchronizing Both Forests via a Single Entra Connect

  • Using a single Entra Connect server to sync objects from both forests to one tenant, without a forest trust.
  • Enabling authentication for Entra-integrated apps but restricting AD-integrated app access between forests.
  • Requires network access between the Entra Connect server and both domain controllers.
  • Suitable when cross-forest AD app access is not needed.

Entra Connect Cloud Sync for a Secondary Forest

  • Utilizing Cloud Sync (lightweight agent) for the secondary forest while keeping the primary Entra Connect setup.
  • Synchronization without full AD connectivity, ideal for geographically distributed networks.
  • Supports hybrid environments, where one forest operates in a cloud-centric model.
