ESXi Active Directory

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding ESXi connection to Active Directory:

What is the difference between joined domain and trusted domain?

And how to delete the trusted domain?

The trusted domain comes from AD that has an established trusted domain configuration, is not something that happens at vCenter level but rather in the AD configuration.

From a security point of view think about the relations / trust do the domain. Your domainadmins can take over your hosts, but also virus/ransomware can do this. 

Think about multi factor authentication.
