how do you reset the searchadcustomquery to oob setting? which is <Property Exist = “No”> , normally used stsadm the value will showed as <Property Exit=”Yes”, Value=””>”.

 

to set the value back to <Property Exist = “No”>  , we can use simple coding as below to reset it.

 

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
using Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration;

 

namespace reset_customQuery
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite(@"http://abc.com"))
            {
                SPWebApplication apps = site.WebApplication;
                //reset to null
                apps.PeoplePickerSettings.ActiveDirectoryCustomQuery = null;
                 apps.Update();

                Console.WriteLine("Done");
            }
        }
    }
}

stsadm -o getproperty -url "http://abc.com" -pn peoplepicker-activedirectorysearchtimeout
stsadm -o getproperty -url "http://abc.com" -pn peoplepicker-distributionlistsearchdomains
