This topic demonstrates how to create a new Active Directory OU in EmpowerID.
Prerequisites
EmpowerID must be connected to Active Directory.
To create an OU
- In the navigation sidebar, expand Role Management and click Business Roles and Locations.
- From the Business Roles and Locations page, click the Actions tab and click Create OU.
- In the Select Parent OU lookup that appears, do the following:
- Search for and select the account store where you want to create the new OU.
- Search for the parent OU under which you want to create the new OU and select it by clicking the node for it in the tree.
Click Submit.
- In the Create OU form that appears, do the following:
- Type a name for the new OU in the Name field.
- Optionally, type a description in the Description field.
- Select Do Not Allow Delete in EmpowerID to prevent the deletion of the OU in EmpowerID.
Click Submit.
- Click OK to close the Operation Execution Summary.
To verify that the OU was created in Active Directory
On a server with the Active Directory PowerShell module, run the following PowerShell cmdlet (substituting the name of the OU in the cmdlet with the OU you created):
Get-ADOrganizationalUnit -Filter {name -eq "Customers"}
