People Picker Settings - MSFT Bug

$wa=Get-SPWebApplication http://dev.sp2010.com
$wa.PeoplePickerSettings
$wa.PeoplePickerSettings.SearchActiveDirectoryDomains
Syntax:
stsadm -o setproperty -url http://<server:port> -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv "forest:contoso.corp.com, contoso\<account>, <Password>;domain:bar.contoso.corp.com,contoso\<account>,<Password>;forest:abc.corp.com,abc\<account>,<Password>;domain:bar.abc.corp.com,abc\<account>,<Password>"

Example:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -url http://extranet.osi-systems.com -pn peoplepicker-searchadforests -pv "domain:ap.sp.com,AP\ups,Ff#bc5JD;domain:be.sp.com,BE\ups,SdF5a3m;domain:ip.sp.com,IP\ups,S&athn9w"

NOTE: Don't use $ in you password for the UPS accounts. This is SharePoint bug and it fails to de-crypt the connection to AD and fails to retrieve the users based on your search in the People Picker.

Retrieve People Picker Settings:
$wa=Get-SPWebApplication http://extranet.osi-systems.com
$wa.PeoplePickerSettings.SearchActiveDirectoryDomains
$wa.PeoplePickerSettings

Services running on the Server:
Get-SPServiceInstance
