Hi Sophie
No Problem! Its great you are asking questions. Feel free to ask as many as you need. We are here to help, :smileycool:
so you are correct in that the initial release we did in October for Horizon Cloud Service on Microsoft Azure had a limitation that you could only use CN=Computers;
The VMware Horizon Cloud Service on Microsoft Azure Release Notes state:
however, this being a cloud service; we did actually push an update yesterday :smileymischief: which improves this (but doesn't 100% fix the issue). let me explain....
so until Monday of this week, you could only override the default OU at the RDS Farm creation level.
With the update this Monday, when you first create the node, there is a UI which allows you to override the default OU (which will be applied for all farm creation, unless also overridden as above). This will now work ! yay!
If you have already deployed a node, then you can edit this setting by going to: Settings--> Active Directory and then 'Edit' the Domain Join section. You can then update the Default OU value. Note that this should be in the form OU=NestedOrgName, OU=RootOrgName, DC=DomainComponent etc. ive attached a screenshot of this UI.
What remains however, is that importing an image from the marketplace will continue to use the CN=Computers value. This is something we are working on fixing now, and I hope to have an update for this issue very soon!
hope this helps,
cheers
