Hello,

I have upgraded TFS from 2012 to 2013 Update 2 and using SharePoint SP1.

The TFS server is installed in Domain A which has Trust to Domain B (domain B doesnt have trust to domain A). User account that the TFS runs under is from Domain B, also application pool in IIS runs under account from Domain B.

Problem is that i cannot add domain groups from Domain A to the site permissions, i can add users but not the groups.

The error i get when adding domain group from Domain A: "The user does not exist or is not unique"

Does anybody have that or had this kind of problem?

It is the Application Pool account making the query to retrieve the groups, so you would need to establish a trust from Domain B -> A.

I managed to make it to work using:

stsadm -o setproperty -url http://<TfsServerName>/sites/<CollectionName> -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv "<domainName>,<DomainUser>,<PassWord>" 

This command will set specified user to search the domain, it than will find the group.
