Acive Scanning OU under OU

[moss]

Firstly,

How would I scan active directory OU that is located under a tree of different OU's. We have different OU levels and I dont want to scan all the OU's under that tree.

In my case if for instance my domain name is XYZ.com.au

and the OU that i need to scan is under 3 OU's

like XYZ.COM.AU is my domain and then 123 (OU) and then 456 (OU) and then 789 (OU)....I would like to scan only 789 OU under which our computers are located.

Can you help please. I want the correct format that I can put in the active scanning part under OU filtrering.

I have put under active scanning as XYZ.com.au and under OU filtering OU=789,DC=XYX,DC=COM,DC=AU it does not work.....Am i doing something wrong ?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have tried all that I can to solve this, but it still does not work.

Atleast now I can see an error in the error log file.

Can anyone help with this. When I activate active scanning it gives me this error

"31/08/2009 12:28:35 PM: System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.LdapDirectoryIdentifier The LDAP server is unavailable.

31/08/2009 12:29:07 PM: System.DirectoryServices.Protocols.LdapDirectoryIdentifier The LDAP server is unavailable."

Any IDEAS ?????

Thanks,

I have tried that option and when i see the error log it gives a list of servers and says its not operational. I will anyway try this again tomorrow when I am at work and will post a response. I am thinking if upgrading to the latest beta will help as I am currently using the stable version 3.5.1. As the beta seems to have solved some issues....will give that a try as well.

Thanks,

You want to do - OU=789,OU=456,OU=123,DC=XYZ,DC=com,DC=au

Hope this helps.

I suggest to download ADexplorer (free) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963907.aspx

You can browse your active directory and see the name needed for the OU's.
