As you can see all my users are set up in sub-OU’s. Once I list RIG Users, will it know to access all the sub-OU’s, or will I need to define each and every one of them?

Host: (local IP of primary domain controller) Port:389
hmm… I put the quote marks in, and it failed again, only this time it only left whatever was before the quote mark in the text box, as opposed to leaving the entire string in for you to fix. It makes me think it doesn’t like quote marks.
All that being said I must get on my high horse here. Just because windows is stupid enough to allow non-alphanumeric characters in your AD structure and objects does not mean it is proper to do so. You should not have any spaces or special characters in OU names or domain objects (users, computers, etc). They do not play well with web based applications such as LDAP. I would take the time while you have it to rename/restructure your AD. Bear in mind that OUs are simply folders that hold AD objects and can be used for granular group policy application. You can rename the folders with no ill effect unless you have other LDAP bindings looking at the current paths. Moving OUs is more complicated and should be avoided if possible.
