samba - Nov 2015 - Cannot create OrganizationalUnit under ou=Users

Hi everyone,

I have a Samba 4.2.4 AD which works fine. I'm using Windows RSAT and I'm
trying to create an OU under ou=Users, but this is not allowed. I can create  
OU's in the top DN, but not under ou=Users.

Could this be a permissions problem or is this simply not possible or  
allowed?

Thanks a lot,

Roel

Not possible. It's a container and not a OU.

Could be it is because it isn't ou=Users and is cn=Users ?

Right.


However Roel, you can create an OU for your users/computers and redirect
the standard to them:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/324949

Then you can have sub-OUs, link GPOs to them, etc. and ignore
cn=Users/cn=Computer.
