Hello,
We are working on migrating from SP2013 to SP2016
Current Set up:
we have 2 domains . Domain A (Internal users only) , Domain B (Internal and external users). There is selective trust between these domains. Servers are
created only in Domain A .
There are two URL's for the web app , one with windows Authentication and other with ADFS (External Domain B users). We always use ADFS URL for everything.
New SP 2016 architecture.
we will be using default 4 min role servers. As stated above all the servers are in Domain A including office online server.
1. When I am creating the office online farm I was wondering if it is safe to include FQDN in URL as below . What is the best practice to create URL considering this name will show up in the URL when users open a word doc in a browser.
New-OfficeWebAppsFarm -InternalURL “http://<FQDN of the server>“ -ExternalUrl“https://<FQDN of the server>” -CertificateName <Friendly Name of the Certificate> -EditingEnabled
2. As it is stated in the
microsoft docs that "Office Online Server must reside in the same Active Directory forest as its users as well as any external
data sources that you plan to access using Windows-based authentication."
In SharePoint 2013 we heavily use excel services . Now when we migrate to SP2016, there is no excel service and only OOS server. Considering the statement above about servers and AD, will our external users logging in with ADFS be able to open these
excel webparts ?
Thank you
