scjsorrell Posted January 7, 2014 Report post Posted January 7, 2014 All, I am looking at installing SCCM12, but we will not have access to the Parent or Root Domain to create our System Management container. We work at a University, where things are not entirely centralized. Trouble is, everything relating to our department is in an OU under the Root Domain. If we have a Child Domain created for us, can I place a SCCM Primary Site in the Child Domain and still manage systems and users that are in the Parent Domain? Will any trusts need to be setup? How will the schema extensions need to be done? Is this even possible? Thanks! Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Sullivan Posted February 5, 2014 Report post Posted February 5, 2014 Hello Scott, Trusts There should be a two-way transitive trust between the parent (forest root) and child Active Directory domains by default. Schema Extensions There is only one schema for an entire Active Directory forest. Someone who is a member of the Schema Admins security group for the forest will need to apply the schema extensions. All they have to do is execute the extadsch.exe file off of the Configuration Manager setup media. Keep in mind that the schema updates are not mandatory for using Configuration Manager. It merely simplifies client service location requests.
