What should you do?

Your company has two Active Directory domains. One domain is located in the trusted network. The other domain is located in the perimeter network. No trust relationship exists between the two domains. You deploy System Center Operations Manager 2007 in the Active Directory domain on the trusted network. You manually install the agent on an application server that resides in the Active Directory domain in the perimeter network. The agent does not appear in the Operations Console. An error event indicates that the agent is unable to obtain configuration information from the Management Server. You need to configure Operations Manager 2007 to monitor the agent. What should you do?

C: CORRECT
If you are deploying Ops Mgr on machines in untrusted domains or DMZs (anywhere outside of Kerberos trust), then you are going to need to leverage PKI and set up certificates on your boxes in order for authentication to work.
