Sharepoint supportability of Read only Domain controllers

People picker is unable to resolve users in a trusted forest if the only domain controller SharePoint can access is read-only.
The idea is that all read requests go to the local read-only DC, but if there are write requests (which should be fewer) those get redirected by the local DC to the remote (slower) read-write DC. So there shouldn’t be a case where you have access to a read-only DC and NO access to a r/w DC. So being completely unable to access a read/write domain controller would be an invalid configuration.
SharePoint will need access to a read/write domain controller in the trusted domain or forest

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
