I think the answer is correct. Since Share3 trusts User1, so User1 can assign permission for Share3. As per Microsoft: "A one-way trust is a unidirectional authentication path created between two domains (trust flows in one direction, and access flows in the other). This means that in a one-way trust between a trusted domain and a trusting domain, users or computers in the trusted domain can access resources in the trusting domain. However, users in the trusting domain cannot access resources in the trusted domain. Some one-way trusts can be either nontransitive or transitive, depending on the type of trust being created."

I think that the answer should be: No - No - Yes. 

  • user1 --> Share3: No because it is an outgoing domain trust from east.contoso.com
  • user2 --> Share1: No, no trust relationship between adatum and contoso domains
  • User3 --> Share1: Yes because of the outgoing trust with Adatum domain

You are right. The picture is wrong. The connection is One-way, outgoing. Outgoing not Incoming.

Direction of access is the opposite of direction of trust. so if east.contoso.com one way trusts Adatum.com, that means that adatum users can access east.contoso.com resources, however not the other way around since it is a 1 way trust. There is an implicit trust between all domains within the same forests, so east.contoso and contoso trust each other, thus giving users of both domains the techinical ability to access their respective resources.

To make this a little bit more clear. First the Alex hase absolutley right, the arror on the diagram is represent who trust who, not who connect to, show the east.contoso.com trust the adatum.com and that means the users from adatum.com can have access at resourses o the east.

Add on the exhibit u1/s1 @adatum.com - u2/s2 @contoso.com - u3/s3 @east.contoso.com and keep in mind that users in the trusted domain can access resources in the trusting domain, but not the other way around.

If we take this as a trust relation between 2 neighbours, then: An outgoing trust means that you give your key to your neighbor, so they can enter your home and use your resources. You are the trusting domain, and your neighbor is the trusted domain. You trust them to access your home, but you cannot access theirs. Taking this example, Adatum.com is the trusting domain and east.contoso.com is the trusted domain. As east.contoso.com is trusted, it can access resources in adatum.com but not the other way around.

Correct Answers: 

  • 1. [YES] -> There is an Outgoing trust, So we trust Adatum. Since this is forest trust, child domain, also can assign permissions to Adatum users.
  • 2. [NO] -> Type trust is outgoint to Adatum. Only Adatum users can sign-in to Contoso forest.
  • 3. [NO] -> Type trust is outgoint to Adatum. Only Adatum users can sign-in to Contoso forest.

  • SHARE3: EAST.CONTOSO -> USER1: Adatum domain (OUTGOING TRUST) => GRANTED so TRUE
  • SHARE1: ADATUM.com -> USER2: Contoso domain (NO TRUST) => ACCESS NOT GRANTED so FALSE
  • USER3: EAST.Contoso domain (OUTGOING TRUST) => NOT GRANDED so FALSE
