Can I use the Import Computer Wizard and specify a specific OU?
Can I use the Import Computer Wizard and specify a specific OU?

When I use an AD Synchronizer, there's a field to specify which OU to look in. This field doesn't exist in the Import Computer Wizard for some reason. IF it could be added, it would be a huge help.
Anyway, since it's not there, how can I reproduce the same end result? When using the ICW, there's a box for "Other filter" that could probably be used but I'm not sure of the syntax. I currently use the Other Filter group to filter only Windows Servers by entering operatingSystem=*windows server*. This works fine, but brings in servers in Test OUs which I don't want.
I thought maybe I could I do something similar with the Distinguished Name field since that contains the OU. I tried using distinguishedName=*Servers* but that gave me no results. I saw a different post about putting the OU in the Domain field but that didn't seem to give me any results either.
Anyone have any other ideas on how I can import out from a specific OU?

Hello,
To my knowledge, the only to have the specified behaviour is through the AD Synchronizer.
Upon looking into the Import Computer Wizard, it doesn't appear to have a way to gain the desired behaviour that you mentioned.
Since this seems to be a feature request, I will transfer this to the Feature Request forum.
Best regards,
Hello,
Thank you for the request. We'll open a ticket and see what we can do to add this to the wizard.
