Grant user from one domain permissions to shared folder in another domain
- by w128
I have two computers set up like this:
\\myPC (local Windows 7 SP1 machine); it is in domain1;
\\remotePC (Win Server 2008 with SQL Server - a HyperV virtual machine); it is in domain2.
In domain2 active directory, I have a user account RemoteAccount. I would like to give this account full permissions to a shared folder located on \\myPC, i.e. folder \\myPC\SharedFolder.
The problem is, when I right-click the folder and go to sharing permissions, I can't add permissions for the domain2\RemoteAccount user, because this user cannot be found - I can only see domain1 users. When I click 'Locations' in "Select users, computers, service accounts, or groups" dialog, I only see domain1.
Is there a way to do this?
