sharepoint 2019 mixed domains

test123123 0

Hi I have a sharepoint 2019 on domain a . I need users from domain b and domain c to access this sharepoint on domain a. A trust relation has been created for domain a,b,c.

The problem i face is the people picker only picks up domain a.

What is the exact process in setting up in central admin or powershell.

Thanks

Hi @test123123 ,

Enable cross-forest or cross-domain queries when using a one-way trust, If the forest or domain on which SharePoint Server is installed has a one-way trust with another forest or domain, you must specify the credentials to be used to query the forest or domain, in addition to the names of the forests or domains to be queried. People Picker will only query the forests or domains that you specify in the peoplepicker-searchadforests property setting.

To specify the forests or domains to be queried along with the credentials, type the following command,The following example configures People Picker for use with a forest named Contoso.com and a domain named Fabrikam.com, and includes the credentials for each:

sTSADM.exe -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv "forest:Contoso.com,Contoso\User1,Password1; domain:Fabrikam.com,Fabrikam\User2,Password2" -url https://ServerName

For more information, see Peoplepicker-searchadforests: Stsadm property.

Don’t forget to do the IISReset!

Verify that the account you use to run is a member of the local Administrators group on the server in which SharePoint Server is installed.Stsadm

Open the command prompt window as an administrator to perform the procedures in this article.

In the command prompt on the driver where SharePoint Server is installed, change to the following directory: .%CommonProgramFiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\x\Bin

Note:

Replace the number mapping value, that is "x" in the directory based on the version of SharePoint you have installed. The following are the SharePoint versions and their respective number mapping values:

The account logged in to run must be a member of the local administrators group on the server.

You can use Powershell to get the local Administrators group members：

Get-LocalGroupMember -Group "Administrators"
