RESOLUTION

In some cases you will need to change the "OU" settings that use for new users/computers store.

However, the "Redirusr" and "Redircmp" set "IsCriticalSystemObject" attribute to "TRUE" and by this forbidden

some changes to the "OU" status (like "OU" deletion).

To revert to the default settings you will need to run the following commands:

"C:\windows\system32>redirusr cn=users,DC=company,dc=com"

      This command will redirect all new users accounts to the "Users" container.

"C:\windows\system32>redircmp cn=computers,DC=company,dc=com"

     This command will redirect all new computers accounts to the "computers" container.

Note: There also option to run "Redirusr" and "Redircmp" commands to redirect new users/computers

        accounts alternative "OU"
