For what ever reason all of our users are still in the cn=users container. Of course after years of being like this everything ldap refers to cn=users. Part of my master plan is to change this to an OU structure, but I™m looking for a less intrusive method of changing this than having to send an email to all saying, hey, if your imap client is using cn=users for the address book you need to change it. Is there a way to add a referral to ou=myusers from cn=users? Thanks! -Alex
