We need to enable NetBIOS for User Profile Service
Application when Fully Qualified Domain Name is different than NetBIOS name.
To Enable NetBIOS follow
the steps.
1) Delete the existing AD connections.
2) Enable the NetBIOS to true for your current user profile
service application.
3) Create a new AD connection.
Using power shell we can enable the NetBIOS to import the
NetBIOS domain users in to our SharePoint user profile.
By default this NetBIOS is set to disable false (0), using
the PowerShell we are enabling to true (1).
Run the below PowerShell command to enable the NetBIOS.
Using the “Get-SPServiceApplication” we can bale to get all
the SharePoint application services running in our farm.
Get-SPServiceApplication
Using “Get-SPServiceApplication –Identity GUID” is used to
identify the user profile and get in the variable.
$up= Get-SPServiceApplication –Identity GUID
Enabling the NetBIOS using NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled
property is setting to true (1)
$up.NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled = “1”
Update the changes.
$up.update()
We can also verify again NetBIOS is enabled or not
Using $up.NetBiosDomainNamesEnabled if it display True
NetBIOS is in enabled mode only.
