Hello everyone,
I sure hope someone else has run into this situation. I have one forest with 12 child domains scattered through country. None of the child domains are physically connected but all connected to root. I have sites and services in a star topology and any user from any domain can login to any other domain without any issue. The problem I have run into is when the visiting user needs to be added to the domain they are visiting in order to access a resource. When we try(from a child domain DC) to add the user to the group, it states the user cannot be found. If I try from the root domain of course it works. It appears as if the child domains need to be physically able to speak to each other and the route from one to root to next does not work for this???? To be sure there is a way or something I am missing to enable users from one child domain to be added to another child domain from within the child domains themselves.
Sorry this is so long, but wanted to explain in slight detail.
