You do not have the option to list users according to organizational unit when you add users to a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site
When you add users to a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site, you do not have the option to list users according to the organizational unit (OU) that they belong to in Active Directory.
This behavior occurs because the People Picker control in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 does not include an option to list users or to search for users who are located in a particular OU.
To work around this behavior, use the Stsadm.exe command-line tool to configure the People Picker control to list only the users who are already in the site collection. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
- Type the following lines at the command prompt. Press ENTER after each line.
cd /d %commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Bin
stsadm.exe –o setproperty –url URL -pn “peoplepicker-onlysearchwithinsitecollection†–pv “yesâ€
- Type exit to exit the command prompt.
Note By default, the
–pv “yes†setting is enabled and is required for Active Directory Account Creation Mode. By default, the setting is turned off for all other configurations.
After you complete the steps in the "Workaround" section, you can still add a user who belongs to a different OU. You can do this if you know the fully qualified logon name of the user.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 3.0

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
