The user does not exist or is not unique in SharePoint 2013



The user does not exist or is not unique in SharePoint 2013
 
Issue: The user does not exist or is not unique in share point 2013,when we check the user in people picker.

Solution: This issue could be of many reasons, In this article I am providing all the relevant solutions to resolve the issue.

Solution 1: ensure that there is no space, The most common issue that occurs with the above is inadvertently adding a space character between the elements of the path.

For example:
instead of OU=Users,DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM you type OU=Users, DC=CONTOSO,DC=COM

Solution 2: Ensure that the user account is not in Disabled state in AD.

Solution 3: Ensure that the user account is not Locked out state in AD
 

I hope the above information will help you to resolve the issue, in case of any queries/questions regarding the above mentioned information then please let me know. I would be more than happy to help you as well as resolves your issues, Thank you.
