Fix People Picker is Very Slow in SharePoint 2010
Problem: In a SharePoint 2010 environment, the People picker is very slow! It takes more than 30 seconds to resolve any given user names in person or group fields.
Solution:
Instruct people picker to search only within given AD domains! Here is how:
Set People Picker SearchADForest domains:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv “domain:crescent.com” -url “https://portal.crescent.com”
If you have multiple domains, add “;” as separators in PV parameter. E.g., “domain:Apac.crescent.com;domain:crescent.com” in 2 way trusted domains.
To get People Picker SearchADForest value applied:
Stsadm -o getproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -url “https://portal.crescent.com/”
To Clear People Picker SearchADForest values if exist already:
Stsadm -o getproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv “” -url “https://portal.crescent.com/”
will the peoplepicker work with LDAPS which is listening on another port? also will people picker work in RODC environment? appreciate your help.. mail me with your direct contact.
