is a shortcut link trust transitive?

| Hello,
Is a shortcut link trust (to speed up authentication) by default a transitive trust? | |

| No, Transitive Trust defines a situation where a trust exists where no explicite trust was created. A trusts B and B trusts C. If the trusts are transitive, then A trusts C, even though this was not explicitely defined.
Shortcut trusts are primarily used to shorten authentication routes between domains, where the existing trusts might traverse the hierarchy of one tree and cross again another tree. A shortcut trust could be made between the two domains and bypass the whole hierarchy. | |

| They are transitive, straight from Server Help file.
Shortcut trusts are two-way transitive trusts that enable you to shorten the path in a complex forest. You explicitly create shortcut trusts between Windows 2000 domains in the same forest. A shortcut trust is a performance optimization that shortens the trust path for Windows 2000 security to take for authentication purposes. The most effective use of shortcut trusts is between two domain trees in a forest. | |

Couldn't have said it better myselft. Of course who can explain it better than MS?  | |

| Thx a lot for these answers. Again a bit closer to the 217 cert... |
