This may be slightly off-topic, but we recently just installed another WSS server into our existing set of servers. We run WSS in AD integrated mode and per the original docs, designate an OU called WSS_ou.

Can we change the ou without re-installing? It would be convenient to see the users created for all sites on this particular server to be grouped in a different ou but we don't want to make a change "underneath" WSS that might cause havoc.

Does the people picker in SPS 2003 support crossing domains within the same forest? We've got an SPS instance where we can only select from the domain that the server is on. I'm wondering if this is a built-in limitation or a misconfiguration.

Hi,

There is a reference to Beta2 in the article. Does this mean SPS 2003 Beta 2 or SPS 2007 Beta2. The time frame at whih this article is posted (Wednesday, March 15, 2006 10:41 PM ) is bit confusing. If you can please clarify it will be really helpful.

Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas, what do you think? Beta 2 of SPS 2003 was out 3 years ago... Not eally a hot topic to write about when SP2 is out already;-)

Nice, We have a team at Microsoft that take use of the ms-ds-Source-Object-DN attribute. I'm a bit dissapointed that this attribute ended up singel valued

Hi, I'm trying to set the property for the people picker:

stsadm.exe -o setproperty -url http://server:port -pn "peoplepicker-searchadforests" -pv "forest:foo.corp.com;domain:bar.foo.corp.com", LoginName, P@ssword

But I get an error: Cannot retrieve the information for application credential key.

Is this a rights problem or do I have to set the application credential key anywhere?

I searched in the registry and found a key there, CredentialKey, and the rights there seamed fine.

Change the syntax to:

stsadm.exe -o setproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-searchadforests -propertyvalue domain:bar.foo.corp.com

You can have either a forest or domain value, but not both. To confirm the settings after running the STSADM operation run:

stsadm.exe -o getproperty -propertyname peoplepicker-searchadforests -propertyvalue domain:bar.foo.corp.com

This doesn't work for Sharepoint Portal Server 2003 does it?? I'm not able to make it work. Is there an updated stsadm.exe that I can import into my existing Sharepoint directory that won't 'blow up' the current deployment??

Great article for enabling the people picker in multiple forests. http://blogs.msdn.com/sharepoint/archive/2006/03/15/552331.asp

I get the "Cannot retrieve the information for application credential key", i tried the other format i think it could be the way i'm putting the login and pwd for the domain, because it doesn't work with the format -pv "forest:foo.corp.com;domain:bar.foo.corp.com", LoginName, P@ssword

it didn't worked with only forest or only domain.

Resource forest sharepoint user provisioning iifp

mendrigueira — Sun, 25 Mar 2007 03:04:46 GMT

For a Exchange/Sharepoint resource forest that trusts 1 or 2 different forests is the People and Personalization features the best scenario?

On user provisioning with iifp what must be done?

This took a bit of wrench turning, but we were able to get this working successfully on RTM MOSS 2007. First, the sample STSADM command has a typo. Should read as follows (note the moved quotation mark):

stsadm.exe -o setproperty -url http://server:port -pn "peoplepicker-searchadforests" -pv "forest:foo.corp.com,LoginName,P@ssword;domain:bar.foo.corp.com,LoginName2,P@ssword2"

Also, there are no explicit steps here for the directory connection, although it is in the diagrams. You will need to set one up for the remote domain, or change the default connection to the remote domain as your case requires.

Has anyone been able to get this to work with the Central Administration site? I have it working fine on all my other web applications but cannot get it working on the Central Administration site. Any help would be appreciated.

I have an issue using peoplepicker in a one way External trust envir.

When I search for a remote user from the WSS site I receive 2 Security event errors.

It seams that the user validation is using the machine account xxx$... instead of account in STSADM.

I installed the WSS on a Domain Controller, run the correct stsadm command line and it works.

In the Security event I can see that it is using the account specified on stsadm command line to connected the trusted domain. Any idea?

Couldn't get multiple forests to work. All servers running 2003 R2 SP2. Config is DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN2 in separate forests. DOMAIN1 trusts DOMAIN2 (one way). Added peoplepicker on Sharepoint for MySites in DOMAIN1 to point to DOMAIN2. Tried changing the MSDS-sourceobjectdn to multple values "CN=<name>, CN=Users, DN=DOMAIN1, DN=COM" and "DOMAIN1\username" - neither are working. Is my syntax incorrect? MySIte keeps trying to create a second profile with same username but diff domain, which fails since usernames the same.
