Hidden OU and hidden users in active directory

8,468

Solution 1

You can use ADSIEdit to explore and edit any particle of AD, since ADSIEdit is just a LDAP editor. It doesn't know anything about the special meanings of the keys and values you can edit there. I maintain several Active Directories (Standard Server and also SBS), and have not seen something like a hidden OU / hidden user. Someone tries to pull your leg.

Beware: Modifying your AD with ADSIEdit can terminally damage it more so than any mistake with RegEdit.

Solution 2

Open "Active Directory Users and Computers", go to "View" (through the Alt key to display the top menu) and choose "Advanced Features".

      Your question makes no sense. Please explain what you are actually trying to do.

      If you can't see it, how do you know it's hidden? How do you know it exists?
