Enable-CrossForestConnector.ps1 "NT AUTHORITY \ ANONYMOUS LOGON" was not found

Question

hi there,

we want to set up a CrossForestConnector, but this fails with the script "Enable-CrossForestConnector.ps1" with the error message.
The user or group "NT AUTHORITY\ ANONYMOUS LOGON" was not found.

The command line is as follows:
. \ Enable-CrossForestConnector.ps1 -Connector "send-connector" -user "NT-Autorität\Anonymous-Anmeldung"

No matter which user we use, German or English spelling, the error message is always the same.

Info:
OS Windows 2016 German, Exchange 2016 German CU17
Interestingly, an anonymous relay could be created with the Add-ADPermission -User "NT-Autorität\Anonymous-Anmeldung".
There seems to be a problem with the "Enable-CrossForestConnector.ps1".

Thanks for any help.

Hi,StefanS.

I suppose that the problem may be your OS language is German while the script is designed for English servers.
Thus it doesn't work in your environment.

Add-ADPermission and other commands may work fine because you manually input the value "NT-Autorität\Anonymous-Anmeldung".
