If Directory Server A trusts Directory Server B and Directory Server B trusts Directory Server C then Directory Server A MUST trust Directory Server C.

• A. TRUE
• B. FALSE
• C. Mutual
• D. Transitive

Answer: (B)

Trust is not automatically propagated through a chain unless the system is configured to allow transitive relationships. Even if A trusts B and B trusts C, A does not necessarily trust C unless the trust model explicitly defines transitivity and that path is enabled. In practice, many environments make some trusts transitive (within a domain or forest) and others non-transitive (across domains or forests), so you can’t assume A will automatically trust C just from the two preceding trusts. Thus, the statement is not guaranteed to be true.
