In that case, I'd look into putting an ADAM database between your AD and your HR app.
You could replicate the users into a single OU in the ADAM instance from AD and let the HR app work out of that, and then set up a scheduled process to synch any changes made there to the user accounts in AD. -----Original Message----- From: Stephen Wimberly [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2009 8:18 AM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: RE: Auto Created Users This is probably more the issue, because ALL user objects are overwritten every night. I've been told that any change I make would be overwritten in short order. -----Original Message----- From: Campbell, Rob [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 12:00 PM To: Active Directory Admin Issues Subject: RE: Auto Created Users The only other reason I can think of they would do it this way is that whatever app is creating the user accounts is still involved after the accounts are created, it can't deal with multiple OU's, and they've let the limitations of the HR app dictated what the OU structure has to be. ~ NEW: CounterSpy Enterprise: Centralized Antispyware - #1 in eWEEK Test! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/product.cfm?id=400> ~ ************************************************************************************************** Note: The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
