SharePoint Farm we want to add Users on another trusted Domain, but search does not find them.

Question

Question, our SharePoint Farm we want to add Users on another trusted Domain, but search does not find them.

 

Server and our most Users are on Domain is -DomainName uswin.ad.vzwcorp.com

UK Users on a different Domain is -DomainName emea.dsmain.com

 

Can we use this command to add both Domains and not cause any issues to our Farm?

 

Verify settings:

Get-SPPeoplePickerSearchADDomain -WebApplication https://taxtest.verizon.com

& Returns nothing as expected as nothing is set.

 

Add domains to the search list (Thinking best to add both Domain via commands):

Add-SPPeoplePickerSearchADDomain -WebApplication https://taxtest.verizon.com -DomainName uswin.ad.vzwcorp.com

&

Add-SPPeoplePickerSearchADDomain -WebApplication https://taxtest.verizon.com -DomainName emea.dsmain.com

 

We have quickly tested on our Test Farm with success, but like to verify it’s ok to use on our Production Farm?

Hi @Crouch, Joe,

You need a trust relationship between the domains. Put the second domain group into the main domain group. Then assign the main domain group to a SharePoint group.
