I hate it when OU's start coming out our ears - the zeroes and ones get all over my shirt and my wife has to use bleach to get them off.

From: James Rankin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 04 February 2009 14:07 To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: Re: Auto Created Users In complete agreement...your Enterprise Admin is pulling a fast one, or opening his mouth and just letting the wind blow his tongue around 2009/2/4 Stephen Wimberly <[email protected]> Our enterprise domain automatically creates users based on a feed from our HR PeopleSoft. During that design it was decided that all user objects should reside in a single flat OU and that only a few select domain admins would have any rights to that OU. This means we cannot apply any Preferences to the user object. (Policies can operate in a LoopBack processing model.) We have asked that our Enterprise Domain change this to allow user objects to reside in other OU locations, but they tell us that 'every large scale domain' is done this way and that to do otherwise would be 'unheard of.' Is this true? Is there 'no way' to effectively move user objects to other AD locations to allow OU Admins the ability to apply user preferences? Is there another way to apply user preferences? We have just over 15,000 user objects. ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=400> ~ ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ ~ ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ ~ ________________________________ This electronic mail, including any attachments, is confidential and is for the sole use of the intended recipient and may be privileged.
