title: How To Connect TFS to a Different Active Directory?
body: <p>Our IT department upgrades Active Directory to version 2016.</p>
  
  <p>I am requested to test our TFS 2017 compatibility with Active Directory 2016. This is what the email says:</p>
  
  <p>We invite you to test your application compatibility with Active Directory 2016, by connecting your application to our AD 2016 lab domain, and validating your application operates as expected.  </p>
  
  <p>LAB Domain Name: XXXX.XX.XXXX.NET</p>
  
  <p>===========================================================
  Domain Controller &amp; Port Details:</p>
  
  <p>YYYYY1.YYYYY.YY.YYY.NET
  YYYYY2.YYYYY.YY.YYY.NET</p>
  
  <p>Port: xxx/xxx</p>
  
  <p>Base DN: DC=ZZ,DC=ZZZ,DC=ZZZZ,DC=ZZZZZ</p>
  
  <h1>Users Scope: CN=Users,DC=ZZ,DC=ZZZ,DC=ZZZZ,DC=ZZZZZ</h1>
  
  <p>I have no idea where to begin and struggle to find any guides on connecting the existing TFS installation to a different Active Directory Domain.</p>
  
  <p>I have a test installation of TFS which I am free to use without any impact on development etc.</p>
  
  <p>Any advice welcome.</p>
