I am trying to fetch user in people picker. However, in the Production Environment it is failing to resolve one of the user in few of the sitecollection. When I try to get the same user in other sitecollections in the same webapplication , the user is resolvable there(These are recently created sitecollections). On UAT environment this is occuring for the whole farm on every single web application.

Other observations and informations:-

  1. Authentication providers - Windows
  2. User present in Mange User Profile
  3. On UAT - Not resolvable anywhere
  4. It is not resolvable in central administration site.

I have already tried the following:

  1. Turned off firewall on test.(not worked)

  2. Checked the user in server manager -- > user groups(user is present there) (IN TEST SERVER)

3.Used Powershell command (NewSPUser) to set it for site collection, However it is giving error - user not recognized

Any Clues?

  • have you configured User Profile Synchronization.? Commented Oct 15, 2013 at 7:07
  • People picker gets users directly from AD .So user profile configuration will not effect.However to answer your question,Yes the User Profile is configured and user is present there.

  • As per my understanding, people picker will not access AD directly, first it will check the user in User Information List. Are you able to add the user into a group.? Commented Oct 15, 2013 at 7:15
  • No, For adding the user in a group I will have to add it using people picker,which is not able to resolve the users.

I have resolved the issue.

It was occuring because the account was disabled at Active Directory level.

Hope this helps someone with the same problem.

  • @BennySkogberg - actually, this seems more like a self-answered question. Anyway Rameez, glad you found a solution - remember that you can also accept your own answer when the timeout expires (two days if I recall correctly) Commented Oct 21, 2013 at 10:35
