Re: User login between domains in the same tree/frrest

Hi eric, thanks for the reply

tree/forrest root domain is domain.local, child is sg.domain.local

I created a new user on domain.local (rogerrabbit), and also added a
workstation to domain.local, i called this workstation WS1.

When i restart the WS1 and get to logon screen, I can select SG or DOMAIN
from the drop down list, i can login to the parent domain (DOMAIN) of which
this workstation and user are a member of.

But if i select SG. I cannot login!

hope this further explaination helps, and that you can assist me further

Hi, Some things are unclear: how did you try to log on? on the DC? then it
would be logical, because there a "normal" user does not have the logon
locally right. ( oh and by the way a domain admin in one domain will be a
normal user in another domain, so)
Can you please explain the setup you used to check this, AFAIK it is
possible to log on to the parent domain when located on a machine in the
child domain. the user does have to choose from the dropdown list his OWN
domain...(or use his user principal name)

good luck

Eric

Hi,

My organisation currently has one domain and several sites.

We are based in australia and have a new remote server in singapore, we
are
considering making this a child domain of our current domain, but are
unsure
if we should make it a child domain or just a DC of our current domain
with a
site link?

if we make it a child domain, and we have users in singapore on this child
domain, can those users then come to our parent (forrest/tree root) domain
and login with their user accounts created in ths singapore child domain,
and
vice versa?

I thought this was possible but i recreated this situation in a dev
environment, creating a user in the parent domain, but that user was
unable
to login to the child domain!

any advice?

thanks
