Environment:WSS 3.0, Server 2003, single domain, AD with users in several OUs, back end SQL2005When I try to add users to a WSS site using people picker, it can only find a certain AD users and can't resolve others.When I do a search, I get an error."No results were found to match your search. Please enter a new term or less specific term."The users it does resolve span thedifferent OUs. It seems to be related tothe more recent additions to AD. I only have about 50 users and it resolves maybe about half of them.The problem exist in the top level site and all sub sites.It had been fuctioning properly at one time. Anyone suggest what I might look at?

Hi, which authenticatio provider are you using? (NTLM, Kerberos or forms) Do you have more than one DC in the domain.. maybe they didn't get replicatated yet..Which SharePoint roles are on which server? Did you ever used the peoplepicker option in stsadm?Have you tried entering the full name "domain\username"?Just need more info to help you :)Daniel Bugday Web: http://www.sharepointforum.com/ Blog: http://www.sharepointforum.com/en-US/Blog/

Hi Jackson,Don't know if this will help but try to do a full import for the users.That's in Central Admin Site -> Shared Service1 (or whatever your shared service name is) -> User profiles and properties (under User Profiles and My Sites).Charles A.

I am running Server 2003, AD, DNS and WSS 3.0 all on the same box. I'm tried to limit People Picker to a specific container using the following command. stsadm -o setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath -path "CN=Sales,DC=ContosoCorp,DC=local" url http://server_name It broke people picker. Now people picker is only pulling users from the site collection list not AD. Prior to executing the command I could use people picker to pick names out of AD, the User OU, a created WSS OU, and several OUs under WSS. I need to get to the functionality prior to running this command and dont know the stsadm syntax to do so.

NTLM Single domain I havn't used stadm option for people pickerI have used domain/name

Hi Charles, I working with WSS not MOSS so I do not have these options in SharePoint Admin. I did try to add users from stsadm and get "The user does not exist oe is not unique"My woes began when I ran thisstsadm command.stsadm -o setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath -path "CN=Sales,DC=ContosoCorp,DC=local" url http://server_name

I found my own answer. stsadm -o setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath -path "" -url http://server_name

HiI seem to have the same issue with stsadm -o setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath -path "CN=Sales,CN=North,DC=ContosoCorp,DC=local" url http://server_nameI can back the change out with stsadm -o setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath -path "" -url http://server_name But does anyone know why the first command does not work? I haveMOSS2007 SP1WSS SP1stsadmn - v12.0.6217.1000The command runs without error.

Thank you so much! I had spent a lot of days to resolve this issue. To restore back the original settings and get the "The user does not exist or is not unique." error off using stsadm -o setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath -path "" -url http://mysite. But if I want to limit the search for limited of users account, how will I do then?thanks!tong

Hello You have to use the following command to make people picker search through the domains you specify in the command for the particular site stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-searchadforests -propertyvalue <valid list of forests or domains> [-url] <URL> Mohamed Hachem ;) CheersMomo
