Local Users and Groups on Windows 2008 Server

  • 772

I'm running Windows Sharepoint Services on server 2008. It's not connected to an AD so I'm using local users on the machine.

When inside SharePoint and browsing for users I see all users, can I restrict this so that a given user sees only users in a given group?

Hope that makes sense

  1. You should be able to use the peoplepicker-searchadcustomfilter property setter to create a customer filter for the people picker. Details on its use can be found here.

    For example, you could filter it on the users email:

    stsadm -o setproperty -url http://sharepoint/sites 
-pn peoplepicker-searchadcustomfilter -pv (mail=*@email.com)

  2. Check out this link:

    Also, the following command can also be used:

    stsadm -o setsiteuseraccountdirectorypath -path "ou=...., dc=..."
