Linked Clones

[inbadmin]

I am only able to create a linked clone pool using the Active Directory object CN=Computers. Every time i try to use one of our other OU's i get the error "Specified AD container partial distinguished name is

not valid". I am sure I need to enumerate our active directory structure out further but have been unable to figure this out or find any answers. An example would be our domain is ABC. We then have an OU under it where we keep all of our computers accounts called ABC Workstations. This is further broke down into OU's like IT. How would I enter this IT OU into View manager so that the linked clones would be placed in the IT OU? Thanks in advance.

When putting in the OU string, you need to enumerate the structure backwards. Given your example: OU=IT,OU=ABC Workstations

You must only limit the string to the OU. Do not include the DC entries.
