This is only applicable to Sharepoint on-premise deployments.
To verify the NTLM account has appropriate permissions to crawl a site collection using the SharePoint V2 connector:
  1. Copy the check-ntlm-account-can-crawl-sharepoint-site-collection.ps1 PowerShell script below to a folder on your computer.
$site_col_url="https://your.sharepoint-site.com/sites/mysitecol"

$cred = (Get-Credential)

  1. Change the value in the first line: $site_col_url="https://your.sharepoint-site.com/sites/mysitecol" to the URL of your site collection.
  2. Execute the script. If the result is:
    • A JSON output of your site’s metadata, the account permissions are set correctly.
    • An error such as a 403, 401, or other error, the account permissions are not set correctly. Set permissions correctly and run the script again to verify it executes successfully.
