Edit an OU in Active Directory to allow different email domains
Hi all,
This relates to my other open question, but wanted to ask it separately, as it affects other issues as well.
We have a one-domain forest, with multiple email domains available. I have different OU's set up for each email domain (such as abc.com and xyz.xom). The OU ABC allows me to create new users with a user login name of "joe@abc.com" as it shold. However, the OU XYZ also only allows me to create new users with login names of "bob@abc.com" rather than "bob@xyz.com".
Where do i need to go to edit the OU so that the OU XYZ has the option for xyz.com?
Many Thanks,
Dave

No there is no way, UPN work at the forest level. how do you create users in this OU ? just right click new user or you copy an existing template?

Sorry, perhaps i should have provided a little more clarity. I have never had the need to do this, but i believe the principle is that you will add it at forest level, but you can set the attribute in ADSIedit to pick a default one for those in a specific OU.

Sure, thats the fun of IT. :)
Not something i have ever found the need to do either.

Perfect, thankyou both for your help!

Out of interest though, is there a way to add UPN suffixes at OU level rather than the whole forest? We have another OU which only has one suffix (efg.com) available, regardless of what else is available in the forest (this was set up by the previous admin) and i'd quite like to know how it was done!
