How to Manage Multiple Forest

Hello Guys,

I have two forest. ARS is installed in one forest and is perfectly working fine. I need to use the same ARS installation to provision / re-provision / de-provision users in another forest.

I have created a trust between this two forest. Created a separate ARS service account (member of domain admin and exchange organization admin) in another.

What are the necessary pre-requisite for such setup?
Do I have to install ARS service in the other forest as well?


Thanks

    By default, Active Roles will check for Microsoft Exchange servers only within the same Forest where the Active Roles server is present. This behaviour can be changed by using one of the edsvaExchangeProperties flags.

    This one should be relevant:


    ForceViewEntireForest

    Default Value: False

    Active Roles Version(s): 7.0+

    When this parameter is set to True, and no Exchange Server is found in the domain of the Exchange recipient being administered, Active Roles configures its Exchange management session to view all the Exchange objects in the forest (equivalent to the Set-AdServerSettings -ViewEntireForest $true command in the Exchange Management Shell).

    Without this parameter, Active Roles is unable to manage Exchange recipients in the domains where Exchange Server is not installed.



    In order to set this flag, run the following VB Script once as an Active Roles Administrator to update the central setting in the Active Roles Configuration database, and then restart all Active Roles services sharing that database:

    option explicit

    Const NewExchangeProperties =""
    Const strEdsvaExchangeProperties = "edsvaExchangeProperties"
    Const strXPath = "/ExchangeProperties"
    Const strSuccessString = "Exchange Properties updated successfully."

    Dim objServiceObject : Set objServiceObject=GetObject("EDMS://CN=Server Configuration,CN=Configuration")

    Dim strXML
    On Error Resume Next
    objServiceObject.GetInfoEx Array(strEdsvaExchangeProperties) ,0
    strXML = objServiceObject.Get(strEdsvaExchangeProperties)
    On Error GoTo 0


    if (IsEmpty(strXML)) then
    objServiceObject.Put "edsvaExchangeProperties", NewExchangeProperties
    objServiceObject.SetInfo
    WScript.Echo strSuccessString
    else

    Dim objXDoc : Set objXDoc = CreateObject( "Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0" )
    objXDoc.setProperty "SelectionLanguage", "XPath"
    objXDoc.async = False
    objXDoc.LoadXML strXML

    Dim objNode : Set objNode = objXDoc.selectSingleNode( strXPath )

    If objNode Is Nothing Then

    WScript.Echo "Fail: Wrong XML format"

    Else

    objNode.setAttribute "ForceViewEntireForest","true"

    objServiceObject.Put "edsvaExchangeProperties", objXDoc.xml
    objServiceObject.SetInfo
    WScript.Echo strSuccessString
    End If

    End If
