What role does the IFM play in updating the membership of Universal Groups
in its domain, with changes to objects from another domain?

If I rename a user in another domain who is a member of the group what does
the IFM do?

I suspect nothing since the UGs are defined in the GC, but can anyone
confirm or deny this please?

TIA

Nick
 
When the IM is not on a GC it updates the references (phantom objects) to
objects in other domain when something changes. Those phantoms are only of
value for DCs in the same domain as the IM that do not host the GC role. DCs
that host the GC role already have a reference in the AD DB because GCs
contain read-only copies of the other domains in the forest.

I suggest you read the following for more info:
* MS-KBQ248047_Phantoms, Tombstones and the Infrastructure Master

Thank you Jorge.

Neither of these references directly answers the question...

What role does the IFM actually play in updating the membership of Universal
Groups?

I still think the answer is None, but what do you think?

YES, for the DCs in the domain (where the groups exist) that are NOT GCs.

NO, it does NOT update the universal group membership ON GCs

please read the document I mailed earlier
