On itins booked via United that include partner flights, the PNR/record locator for "some" partners may be found in the UA online itin
Note that on carriers which use Amadeus, the PNR will be the same across all Amadeus carriers. So, for example, on an itinerary with TG and OZ/SQ, if you get the PNR from TG, it will be the same for the OZ/SQ segment (and you can typically pick seats for all flights on the TG website).
If the PNR does not appear, call UA or call the partner with the ticket number, date and flight and you should be able to get it verbally.
04 FEB 2018 - This worked for Singapore Air (SQ): if you cannot locate the SQ PNR via the web, go to the reservation on the United app, and then click Additional information, I was able to find mine there.
Starting last half of 2017, the UA PNR will work on some partner airlines -- LH group (LH, LX, OS, ...), NH/ANA, ....

What can we say - UA IT at its best.
It works consistently for me with LH, TK LX, and LO. I've also seen it appear for AC and Brussels (their code temporarily lost from my brain.) I just have an upcoming trip on SK, and that didn't show, but a call to UA and they had it.
I also find that there are sometimes artifacts when I change an ITIN, and all the codes for the trip continue to show, even for the cancelled legs.

As I have been booking some MP tickets before Jeff changes the program again, I have used UA flights and *A airlines. I have noticed that they no longer show the other Confirmation Numbers for say NH, TG, etc.. I have to call to get this information now. Have they done away with the cross Confirmation number listing?

This is not a change.
And it's really not that big a deal, it encourages best practices, namely checking with the operating carrier to make sure the reservation is ticketed.

where to find confirmation # for codeshare flights?
I just booked a ticket with flights operated by a *A partner. Where can I find the confirmation number for the other airline? It used to be easy to find but don't see it anywhere on united.com or the receipt. Thanks!

It's not on the e-receipt - just under the record on my reservations.
When you're in, there should be a lone near the top saying something like "this itinerary contains partner segments" and then a blue link to additional confirmations. I've missed it before to.
It's really easy to find in the app though - at the bottom - near the email summary and change seat links, there should be another one that says "additional information".
