Simplest solution is the one you mentioned. Otherwise you can set the third byte in the DSHEURISTICS attribute to 1, i.e. xx1 – leave the other two values alone, as they influence your ANR set and how search results get returned. This enables the list permission in AD.

With this permission enabled you’ll use list and list content permissions to limit the visibility of objects in AD.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Hiding an OU

 

 I have an OU (call it OUX) that contains a bunch of
OUs, which contain users.  I want to hide the OU so
that only administrators and members of one specific
group can see it if they browse the directory (say
with Windows 2000, or LDP).

I also want any new OUs or other objects that I create
under OUX to get the same treatment.  I don't care if
others can see OUX itself.

I know that Authenticated Users gets lots of read
permissions on new objects from the default security
descriptors (these have not been changed).  This
domain also has Everyone still in the Pre-Windows 2000
Compatible Access group, because nobody has taken time
to figure out if it can be removed without screwing
anything up.  The domain is W2K native with some W2K3
DCs and no clients below NT4 SP4.

I figured out a way to do most of this, but I was
hoping the experts here could tell me how they would
approach the issue.  My solution ended up blocking
inheritance and removing the read permission for each
sub-OU manually...
Thanks!
