Here is the situation:
Some users have a real account and a ghost accounts/dummy accounts in same domain but with hyphen in the account name.
For example :
John Adams real account is domain\JA001 and his ghost account is domain\JA001-aa
So when we search in people picker by name it shows both accounts.
Question is how to exclude all users with *-aa to show in people picker?
Any help with PowerShell command will be highly appreciated.
This is what i ran from the command line to exclude the *-aa accounts and it worked for me:
stsadm -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadcustomfilter -pv "(!(sAMAccountName=*-aa))" -url https://MyWebApplication.com
How would I do this if I wanted to filter out users from a specific sub-domain? I can use the same command as above I just am not sure what condition to check for?
I would use something like this: stsadm -o setproperty -pn peoplepicker-searchadcustomfilter -pv "(!(<>))" -url https://MyWebApplication.com
where <> needs to be that the userPrincipalName does not contain the sub-domain name.
