I have two domains, say domainA.company.com, and domainB.company.com. Both in two way trust, forest, transitive.

The trust is verified, and it's working for my remote desktop services, and it works for my file sharing NTSF/Sharing permission. I can see other domain users from Windows security permission. The AD accepts traffic from other services, not blocked by our firewalls.

I have a Sharepoint 2013 in domainA, and I need to allow domainB users to get on it. I can't seem to get SP2013 to show the users from domainB. I tried running this from the SP server,

stsadm -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv "forest:domainA.company.com;forest:domainB.company.com" -url https://fqdn.domainA.company.com

only to receive this error: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed. The https://fqdn.domainA.company.com is a valid site, I can access it from my browser inside or outside our firewall.

In CA, Manage Profile Service: User Profile Service Application => Synchronization Connections, I can add both domains here without error. SP server can pull the listing of the AD in both domains.

I've set stsadm.exe -o setapppassword -password keyhere, but that didn't help. I can resolve internal names from any domain, so my dns conditional forwarding is working.

The SP2013 has the latest updates. Not sure how to proceed next on adding two way trust domain users because of that invalid URI error.

I got this to work using the code in the link. Thanks Trevor.
