Yes IM7 can in reality go anywhere on your network independent on domains etc. As long as certain UDP Ports are not being blocked like (in a firewall etc) and you snmp community settings are correct it should be good for you to use.<BR /><BR />The only item that may affect IM7 is when you try to "add" domain level accounts for IM7 access and use and the domain in question is not trusted or 1 way trusted, that domain account not be able to be used to authenticate and logon to IM7.<BR /><BR />We use Domain level accounts without issues as well as monitoring servers across about 10-15 domains and regions throuoghout the world (India, Japan, China, Europe) from California without issue.
