Hi Friends,

I am creating user through this dsadd command.
dsadd user "CN=User0101, OU=Sales, DC=ind, dc=com" -samid rt74966
This gets Excuted easily. But when i change the OUto Users i am not able to create the user. I tried on different Domains.

Thanks & Regards,
Milind Gujar

This is because "users" is a container.

The correct syntax is this:

dsadd user "CN=User0101,CN=Users,DC=ind,dc=com" -samid rt74966
