Title
Unable to install node manually or remotely in a 2 way domain trust -
Description
we are currently setting up ER and have the main ER server and SQL db on a separate server. On the same domain I have been able to set up a node and automatically deploy however get a access denied to the Admin$ share on the remote machine we're installing a node on the remote domain in the 2-way trust (Although this can be accessed fine with the creds in File Explorer).
The user account used is a domain admin in the remote domain. When manually installing it states that it needs to be a member of the local administrator group (which it is, manually and domain admins)

Resolution
If Domain A has the ER server and working environment and Domain B is where we want to install a node.Login to windows on Domain B machine with Domain A user account. This account- should have the required ER Active Directory roles (Reporter_Discovery_Nodes and Reporter_Reporting_Operators if Report Manager is to be used)- should have permissions to install a windows service on Domain B machineRight click the ER node msi installer and select 'Run As Administrator' and follow the screens to specify ER server name/port, then use the same Domain A account credentials for installing node.Before installing, please make sure that -- Domain B machine can reach ER server and port (PowerShell Test-NetConnection can be used)- ER server can reach domain B machine. By default node will be installed on port 7737, so please make sure that it is not blocked by firewall/antivirus- SQL server and port should be reachable from Domain B machine. This can be done by creating an empty test.udl file there. Double click to open it, specify Sql server and database name as seen in Configuration Manager->System->Information, check Windows Authentication and click 'Test Connection' to see if it works -
