I edited step 6 and after clicking View>>>Tree, instead of using the specified DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=int values, I put in the full path of OU=Server,OU=Properties,DC=vdi,DC=vmware,DC=int and that lets me see the CN= values of my connection servers now. still not sure why I couldn't just browse the tree but this got me where I needed to get to.
