Checklist:



� Is the domain part OK?





� Example: domain name = "D09.acme.com" -> "dc=com/
dc=acme/dc=D09"



� Try to ping the domain name. Example: start the command prompt and
type "ping D09.acme.com"





� Is the OU or container part OK?





� Each ou should be preceded with "/ou=". Example: OU
"SubOU" in OU "RootOU" -> "/ou=RootOU/
ou=SubOU"



� Containers should be preceded with "/cn=".
"Users" is a container, not an OU. Example: "/
cn=Users"

view, example:







SET ADDomainPath=dc=com/dc=acme/dc=D2

SET ADOU=Students ...
