Why are users in Active Directory Child Domains not shown in the mailbox list?

SPAMfighter does not per default enumerate child domains in Active Directory.

The reason is that there can be a small performance penalty in doing this, and secondly it may not be desirable to do so in most SPAMfighter installations.

SPAMfighter does however support enumeration of Child Domains in Active Directory - either by:

* Configuring SPAMfighter to lookup Child Domains automatically

* Or by manually configuring SPAMfighter which Child Domains should be included in the search for mailboxes.

How to configure SPAMfighter to lookup Child Domains automatically:

This should only be done if you have full control of your Active Directory - as all Root domains and Child domains automatically will be included in the search for mailboxes.

       1) Open Regedit (start -> run -> regedit)

       2) Navigate to the following path:

               HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

               SOFTWARE

               SPAMfighter

               Enterprise

               Modules

               A193D9BC-CA2E-4fea-BBC9-BE578BFA2C5C

       3)Double click on the registry value named "AutoDiscoverTrustedDomains" and change the value from False to True

       4) Restart the SPAMfighter service for the change to take affect

How to manually configure SPAMfighter which Child Domains should be included in the search for mailboxes:

1) Open Regedit (start -> run -> regedit)

2) Navigate to the following path:

               HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

               SOFTWARE

               SPAMfighter

               Enterprise

               Modules

               A193D9BC-CA2E-4fea-BBC9-BE578BFA2C5C

3) Double click on the registry value named "AutoDiscoverTrustedDomains" and change the value to False

4) Create a new "String Value" and name it: "TrustedDomains"

5) Enter the Active Directory path of the Child Domains that should be included in the search for mailboxes. In case of multiple Child Domains, separate them with the character '|'. The following example configures SPAMfighter to enumerate users in the domains "child.domain.com" and "domain.com"

               DC=child,DC=domain,DC=com|DC=domain,DC=com

Remember to include the Root Domain, if you would like this to be enumerated also.

6) Restart the SPAMfighter service for the change to take affect
