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 machine
Right 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
