[Solution]: SharePoint Peoplepicker not displaying domain users


I have configured peoplepicker for about more than 10 domains. All works fine except for a domain. There was no error and only message is that the "No results found" in the People picker search results.

 How People picker works?

 People picker sends a dns query to the domain controller to retrieve the AD details.

How did i resolve this issue?
  1. I ran network monitor in all the DCs.
  2. Search for a user in people picker
  3. Go to the nework monitor logs and search for the name you searched in the people picker.
  4. That will give some idea, what went wrong.
  5. Additionally, search for the destination DC. Repeat this if you are connecting to AD domain through multiple DCs.
  6. In my case, there was no response from the destination DC, which was caused by firewall port.
  7. After the port was opened in destination DC to the AD domain, the issue was resolved.
Hope this helped someone out there.

 Happy trouleshooting!

SDLC with ALM  Development is certainly the fundamental part of application lifecycle management. Once the business case is approved, the software development lifecycle begins. If we expanded the SDLC parts of the Development line shown in the figure below, a modern process would probably show software development as a series of iterations. Each iteration would contain some requirements definition, some design, some development, and some testing. This iterative style of development isn’t always appropriate—some projects are still better done using more traditional methods—but it’s becoming the norm in many areas. Once the SDLC process for version 1 of the application is complete, the application is deployed. For most applications, however, deployment doesn’t mark the end of development. Instead, the application needs periodic updates, as shown in the figure, and perhaps one or more full SDLC efforts to create new versions, as in this example. For some applications, the...

What's new in Sharepoint 2016

Image
Microsoft confirmed that SharePoint Server 2016 will become generally available in Q2 2016, with a public beta planned for Q4 2015. What to expect in 2016? On-premises support will be around for the foreseeable  future. Continued support on combination of on-premises, cloud and hybrid deployments for many years to come. Microsoft is moving more to a cloud-based identification model with SAML and OAuth Nondefault ports can be used for connection encryption, rather than just using Port 25 Site creation is no longer a "heavy operation" but now will be "small and fast" Project Server will be integrated into SharePoint content databases (although you don't get it for free) Microsoft will make "durable links" for finding files so that it won't matter if the file name gets changed or if the file gets moved Microsoft is adding an ODF file saving capability Improved user experiences Cloud-inspired infrastructure Compliance and reporting...
