Description
Specifies not to search Active Directory when the current port is using forms-based authentication.
For example, a Web application uses Windows authentication on port 80 and uses forms-based authentication on port 81. If a user accesses port 81 and attempts a search, results are returned when People Picker is used.
Syntax
stsadm -o setproperty

The syntax for the getproperty operation is:

Examples
Search membership providers using Windows authentication
Do not search Windows Active Directory when the current port is using forms-based authentication.
To search from a membership provider only, use the following syntax:
stsadm -o setproperty -url http://<server> -pn "peoplepicker-nowindowsaccountsfornonwindowsauthenticationmode" -pv yes
To search a membership provider and Windows Active Directory, use the following syntax:
stsadm -o setproperty -url http://<server> -pn "peoplepicker-nowindowsaccountsfornonwindowsauthenticationmode" -pv no
Note
If the value is set to Yes, the People Picker does not try to search or resolve a user against Active Directory if the current zone does not use Windows authentication.
To view the current setting for the nowindowsaccountsfornonwindowsauthenticationmode property, use the following syntax:
