    Hi guys got a l’il problem I need some advice on.

    I am currently going through the process of binding several Macs to a Test AD environment but have run into an annoying issue.

    We don’t use the AD Container “Computers” for binding machines to the domain. Instead we have a Container called “Test Computers” within which is 3 folders: Desktops, Laptops & Macs.

    No I can get the Macs to bind to the domain & create themselves in Test Computers, but not Test Computers\Macs…

    Any ideas?

    I have full admin rights to the AD Domain. So I should have rights.

    The AD Plugin just advises that it cannot find the container.

    So for CN= should I just put in the container name? i.e. Macs & not something like CN=Test Computers/Macs?

    [quote]what’s the CN that you’re using?[/quote]

    The CN that works is the defualt one, CN=Computers.

    Which is fine for the test rig, but when this goes live it needs to be in LBTH Computers\Macs, (\ is used to illustrate folder location).

    Any ideas how I can create them in LBTH Computers\Macs via the AD Plugin?

    Right so, the domain is mycompany.com.

    The container ‘LBTH Computers’ is directly below this with three further containers within: Laptops, Desktops & Macs.

    It’s the Macs CN that I won’t to create in.

    So i guess the FQCN is something like \\mycompany.com\LBTH Computers\Macs.
