I have a MOSS 2007 server in an environment with both a two way cross forest trust and a two way external trust. Users in the forest-trusted forest happily show up in peoplepicker, but I get nothing out of the external trust.
I've tried a variety of different options for the peoplepicker-searchadforests property with no luck. SSP can import the profiles okay, and I've logged on as the service account and verified I can query users in the external domain.
Has anyone successfully configured sharepoint to query users via a two-way external trust? Is there something I'm missing?
UPDATE
The external trust has been changed to a forest trust and still has the same issue. Network Monitor is showing the LDAP query occurring against the remote DC and responses being returned, but there's still nothing showing up in peoplepicker.
Best Answer
Yes, I have done it in the past. Had to set the peoplepicker-searchadforests even though you are not supposed to have to do that with two way trusts.
