In this blog post, I will cover the principles of adding additional User Principal Name for your Active Directory Domain, this is usually required when the internal domain has been created as either a .local suffix or has a prefix of ad.hypervlab.co.uk or corp.hypervlab.co.uk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly let’s have a look at what a User Principal Name is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Source: https:\/\/whatis.techtarget.com\/definition\/User-Principal-Name-UPN<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, we can check what current User Principal Name suffixes are in the domain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get-ADForest<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Notice how currently in the above graphic the UPNSuffixes is empty. Now to resolve this we will need to open the ‘Active Directory Domains and Trusts’ Console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
From the  ‘Active Directory Domains and Trusts’ Console right click on the  ‘Active Directory Domains and Trusts’ Text on the top left pane and select properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
From the UPN Suffixes Window enter the alternative suffix address you want to use, Normally this would do a ‘Top Level Domain (TLD)’ which is accessible over the Internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
To check that the new UPN Suffix has been saved into the Active Directory Schema we can use the same Get-ADForrest<\/strong> command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
As we can see from the graphic above the UPNSuffixes has now been populated with the hypervlab Top Level Domain. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
