Table 5‑3. View Server Configuration Template Settings
Setting Properties
Recursive Enumeration of Trusted
Domains
Determines whether every domain trusted by the domain in which the
server resides is enumerated. To establish a complete chain of trust, the
domains trusted by each trusted domain are also enumerated and the
process continues recursively until all trusted domains are discovered.
This information is passed to View Connection Server so that all trusted
domains are available to the client on login.
This setting is enabled by default. When it is disabled, only directly
trusted domains are enumerated and connection to remote domain
controllers does not take place.
In environments with complex domain relationships, such as those that
use multiple forest structures with trust between domains in their
forests, this process can take a few minutes to complete.
