4865: A trusted forest information entry was added
On this page
This event is logged cross-forest trust relationships are created or modified. You will get several of these events per trust.
Windows stores trust relationships as Trusted Domain Objects (see events 4706, 4707, 4716) but cross-forest trusts require extra information stored in several entries in the TDO's Forest Trust Information attribute (aka FTInfo). FTInfo includes the all namespaces that a trusted forest manages, with other fields that indicate whether each claim is actually trusted by the trusting (this) forest.
This event, 4865, documents creation of each of such entries. You can link all the entries created at one time by the Operation ID:.
Not all elements are filled in for each entry type.
