SharePoint 2007 -People Picker stopped resolving user accounts after patch "February Cumulative Update (CU)"
Hi,
I have a SharePoint serve 2007 farm, i was able to find users in one way trusted domains using the stsadm cmds for peoplepicker, after i installed the the patches from the February Cumulative Update (CU) i can no longer search domains for users, i have checked
the stsadm peoplepicker commands and they are all still there.
i get the following when i look at the logs "Error in searching user 'domain users' : System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x8007052E): Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password" i know all passwords are good as they were working, and the
search for accounts breaks as soon as the the patch is installed.
Thanks

Hi,
Please run following command to find the people picker property
stsadm -o getproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-searchadforests -url <URL>
Check the result and if it doesn't exist run following command to configure
stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-searchadforests -propertyvalue <valid list of forests or domains> -url <URL>
and then run full import from ssp use profiles and properties
please let us know results after running above commands

If its FEB 2010 CU then the version must be @ 12.0.0.6529
and if its FEB 2011 CU version must be @ 12.0.0.6554
which FEB CU you have installed and which version it is showing ?Warm Regards, Pratik Vyas | SharePoint Consultant | http://sharepointpratik.blogspot.com/

Going through the logs again i am getting an
Exception when search "OMCORE\xy34603" from domain "za.omlac.net". Exception: "The RPC server is unavailable", StackTrace: " at Microsoft.SharePoint.Win32.SPNtDsApi32.SafeDirectoryServiceHandle.Bind(String domainControllerName, String dnsDomainName) at Microsoft.SharePoint.Win32.SPNtDsApi32.TranslateUserName(String

TimeSpan searchTimeout, Boolean& reachMaxCount)".
I know there are no firewall issues with ports being blocked, as i have another farm on the same Network that has not be patched yet an i am able to resolve all domain accounts in the people picker.

Hi Brad,
It is a known issue that SharePoint 2007 People Picker stop to work after installing SharePoint 2007 December 2010 Cumulative Update and February 2011.
And it is not possible to remove CU without rebuilding the system...
Sorry for the inconveniences.
Best regards,
