IMPORTANT: This article contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, make sure to back it up and make sure that you understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs.

256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
When you click Start, point to Search, and then click For People, the Find People dialog box includes a predefined list of Directory services. A predefined Web site is configured for each of the default Directory services and is accessible by clicking the Web Site button. The Web Site button is unavailable for Active Directory or a custom Directory service.



RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To work around this behavior, set the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server Web site for the administratively defined Directory service (LDAP server) entry in the registry on a per-user-profile basis. The following value must be implemented:

Hkey_Users\ \Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts\"Directory Service"

Value: 'LDAP URL' (REG_SZ) [Ex HTTP://MYDOMAIN.COM]

This procedure can also be used to configure the default Active Directory Directory service as displayed in the preconfigured list, not just for an administratively created Directory service.
