Sharepoint 2010: How to get the people picker to work across domains in one way trust

By peter.stilgoe

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

If you have your Sharepoint farm hosted in a different domain to your users you will notice that the people picker only looks at its local domain, ie does not list any users from the Internal / User domain. Luckily you can get round this fairly easily:

Run this command on all Sharepoint servers in your farm:

stsadm -o setapppassword -password <AnyPasswordYouWant>

Then run this commmand for each web app:

stsadm.exe -o setproperty -url <YourWebApp> -pn "peoplepicker-searchadforests" -pv "domain:<YourDomain>,<Domain Account>,<password>"

You should now be good to go & pull people & resolve names from both domains.
