Question
Friday, March 4, 2016 9:37 PM
Hello,
We have two domains: alpha.local and beta.local
We have also a file server Zeta.local, which is a member of the domain alpha.local
The two domains are under the same forest.
On a file server we have a shared folder (include several sub-folders)
The users from the domain beta.local want to access the shared folders.
At the beginning, we did not have too many requests just few, so my solution was very simple:
- Give the user a permission on the folder
- Map the folder on the user machine
Now the demand begin to increase and almost everyday we are having several requests, my solution is not optimized for several reasons:
- Im giving permissions to users and not groups, which is not good
- I dont have remote access to users computers on other domain, so they have to wait unlil one of there technicien is there to map the folder
- each request take too much time, which bring some problems.
Im trying to find an optimized solutions, which will help me to save time and improve the work.
Thank you

Hi Berkani49,
Thanks for your post.
Do you establish the domain trust between alpha.local and beta.local?
If there's the domain trust, you could consider to use groups nesting to achieve the share folder access.
You could create a Global Group in your domain where your users are located, and create a Domain Local group on in your destination domain. Use the Domain Local group on the permissions on the files/folders/. Then add the Global Group you created in the users domain as a member in to the Domain Local group. Add the users to the Global Group, and REMEMBER to log off and on again(or restart the computer) so that the new access is applied to the users.
Please refer to the articles for more details.
