To connect and bind to an ADAM instance using ADAM ADSI Edit, see Related Topics.
By default, OUs can only be added under OU (OU=), country/region (C=), organization (O=) or domain-DNS (DC=) object classes. For example, you can add an OU to o=Microsoft,c=US. You cannot add an OU to cn=test,o=Microsoft,c=US. You can, however, update the schema definition of the OU object class to allow other superiors.
