Disable Client Loopback

If you do not need to add attributes using the SharePoint people picker before they exist in your user directories, disable the client loopback feature. Leaving client loopback enabled when the directory attributes exist returns duplicates in the SharePoint people picker.

Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your SharePoint central administration server.
2. Click Start, All Programs, Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products, SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.

   The management shell command-line window opens.

3. Navigate to the following directory:

   C:\Program Files\CA\SharePointClaimsProvider\scripts
   

4. Enter the following command:

   .\Set-SMClaimProviderConfiguration.ps1 -DisableLoopBackSearch
   

   Loopback search is disabled.
