Find Users and Groups in Active Directory Users and Computers

Because of a limitation with the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, when you try to find an AD Bridge user or group by right-clicking an OU and then clicking Find, the user or group will not appear in the results even when the user or group is in the OU. The Find command does, however, work at the domain level.

As an alternative, you can find AD Bridge users and groups in an OU using the following procedure:

  1. Right-click the OU with an associated cell, select Properties, and then click the AD Bridge Cell Settings tab.
