Connecting to computer in Different AD forest
Hello I have a issue with computers in AD Forest A connecting to any computer in Forest B when using UNC path \\FORESTBCOMPUTER\SHARENAME. It seems to only work when I use FQDN \\FORESTBCOMPUTER.FORE...
- If you have multiple dns suffixes configured on a forest A computer, than it should try resolving the name of forest B computer first on the primary suffix and if that fails it should try the secondary suffix. Can you confirm that you can ping forestbcomputer without using FQDN?
Could have someting to do with :
• Domain Member: Digitally sign client communication (when possible)
• Microsoft network client: Digitally sign communications (always)
Are the policies in both domains the same regarding SMB signing? https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/storage-at-microsoft/configure-smb-signing-with-confidence/ba-p/2418102
Did you manage to fix your issue?
Yes all good now. Thanks for the reply.
