CHILD DOMAIN
We create a domain ‘xyz.com’. This domain can be called parent domain or
root domain. Now ‘chd.xyz.com’ will be child domain or sub domain of xyz.com.
We create child domains to ease administration in very large domain networks.
We can create parent domain in the Head Office of the company and the child
domains in the branch offices.
Each branch office will have its own administrator
to manage users of the child domain present in the branch office.
to manage users of the child domain present in the branch office.
A trust relationship is
automatically created between the parent domain and the child domain. This
means users in the child domain can access the file server of the parent domain
and vice-versa. Moreover users of either domain can use clients of either
domain for logging in the domain but a user can always logon only in the domain
in which his account resides, though he physically can use client PC of parent
or child domain.
