SharePoint Server 2010 change Domain Controller to RODC

active-directoryrodcsharepoint-2010

i'm struggeling with the SharePoint Server 2010.
I moved my SPS 2010 into a DMZ within the same site as my RODC.
The SPS 2010 should get AD information from the RODC, but however, it dosen't, since it always tries to use the DC for such a matter.

How can i define the RODC/DC to use for the SPS 2010 ?

Thanks !

Be aware that it is not SharePoint, but the client, that authenticates against the Active Directory.

If I have 3 Sites:

Site A - Domain Controller, 1 client (ClientA)

Site B - RODC, SharePoint Server, 1 client (ClientB)

Site C - No DC's, 1 client (ClientC)

  1. ClientA tries to log in to a Sharepoint Site, the client authenticates against a site local Domain Controller, that is, the one in Site A.
  2. ClientB tries to log in to a Sharepoint Site, the client, again, authenticates against a site local Domain Controller, here it is the RODC in Site B
  3. ClientC tries to log in to a Sharepoint Site, the client authenticates against either:
    1. A Domain Controller that serves Automatic Site Coverage for Site C
    2. A Domain Controller within the site for which the Site Link Cost is the lowest from Site C
