Requirements

•
Network connectivity between the foreign server and coordinators in the remote forest.
•
A routable network path between the foreign forest computer and the coordinator servers.
•
Name resolution of domain controllers and the coordinator servers from the foreign forest server. This is required regardless of whether DNS server configuration, NetBIOS/WINS configuration or local hosts file entries are used.
•
Ensure that the account you are using to deploy agents is at least a Domain Admin in every domain that contains servers or workstations where agents will be deployed.

Workflow

•
Harvest the foreign forest topology.
•
Deploy an agent in a foreign forest.
You can deploy agents either by installing agents on the required computers or using the deployment option in the Change Auditor client. See Installing agents in a foreign forest and Deploying agents to a foreign forest for details).
* 
NOTE:  
•
If the agent fails to connect to the coordinator, check the network connection, ensure that the coordinator name can be resolved, the group "ChangeAuditor Agents - <InstallationName>" is created in the domain where the coordinator is located, and the account has been added.
•
You may need to pre-stage\create the "ChangeAuditor Agents – <InstallationName>" domain local security group and manually add the configured user account to the security group in additional domains within the forest where coordinators reside.
•
Create any auditing templates as required and assign to the agent.
•
Events will be audited by the agent and displayed in the client once they are collected.
